Sykes Churches Trail

The Sykes Churches Trail is linked with the Sykes family of Sledmere House in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. [ [http://www.eastriding.gov.uk/leisure/tourism/pdf/leaflets/wolds1.pdf 52837 Wolds & Coast ] ]

It includes churches near Sledmere built, rebuilt or restored by
* Sir Tatton Sykes, 4th Baronet (1772-1863)and his son
* Sir Tatton Sykes, 5th Baronet (1826-1913)

The 4th Baronet engaged John Loughborough Pearson to work on churches at Garton on the Wolds, Kirkburn, Bishop Wilton and Hilston in Holderness.

The 5th Baronet worked with the architects G.E.Street and Temple Moore. His achievements were far greater than his father's, and unparalleled elsewhere in Britain. He financed work on 17 rural churches between 1866 and 1913. These included:
*St Mary, Sledmere
*St Mary, Cowlam
* St Mary, Fridaythorpe
*St Mary, Thixendale
*St Mary, Fimber
