East Heslerton

East Heslerton

East Heslerton is a village, near Malton in North Yorkshire, England.

The church of Saint Andrew

The local church has sculptures of the four saintly fathers of the Latin Church, St Augustine, St Ambrose, St Gregory and St Jerome, all modelled by James Redfern.

They were originally intended for the northern porch of Bristol Cathedral but were thought too "papist" by the Dean and rejected. They were rescued by George Edmund Street. [ [http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/content.php?nID=25&csID=16 The Church conservation council] accessed 20 February 2008]
