All Saints, Hawnby

Lying in a secluded rural setting just outside the village of Hawnby in Ryedale, All Saints dates back to the 12th century with many historical features and links including a rather fine stained glass window commemorating 'the fighting parson of Hawnby' in the First World War. The church is keen to welcome poets and at the rear is a collection of poetry books and a folder marked 'Fresh Poems In Here' accompanied by pens and paper. Historical information will be on display and light refreshments will be available.

This church will be exhibiting some of Val Mather’s stunning photographs from her Photo Essay on the Regia Anglorum medieval enactors on the Saint Aelred’s Pilgrim Trail in Upper Ryedale and at Rievaulx Abbey, and some of Daisy Barnes’ amazing mandalas.
