St Oswald's Church, Sowerby
- St Oswald's Church, Sowerby
St Oswald's Church is located in Sowerby, in the county of North Yorkshire, England. It is named after Oswald of Northumbria.
The earliest church at Sowerby, of which any part remains, appears to have been built about 1140. The fine south doorway was probably built in the 11th century and most of the stone work in the south wall of the nave is of medieval date. The tower, which contains the remains of the Norman church, was built in the 15th century with a hagioscope through which the altar is seen. In 1842, the church was restored and enlarged in 19th century Norman style. In 1883, further restoration and repair included the erection of an open Lantern of woodwork surmounted by a slated spire above the chancel crossing. In 1902, the north wall was taken down and made into an arcade and a spacious north aisle built. In the 1980s, re-ordering of the church took place and included a free-standing altar allowing more intimate congregational worship.
