St Michael's Church, Coxwold
St Michael's Church is an Anglican parish church in Coxwold, North Yorkshire, England. The Parish of Coxwold is part of the Church of England's Diocese of York.[1]
The earliest church on the site dates to the Anglo-Saxon period.[2] That church was replaced by a Norman one built in the 11th century, and that in turn was replaced with the present church which was built by 1430.[2][3] The church is in the Perpendicular style, and among its unusual features are an octagonal tower and a tongue-shaped altar rail.[3][4][5] The church is a grade I listed building.[3]
