Find a church

The earliest reference to a church in Cawthorne can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, the current church is the third to stand on this site.

A handsome Victorian church with beautiful stained glass windows, superb stone carvings and a fine altar with a gold mosaic.

The ramblers church.

The church stands some way from the village, isolated but not austere.

Beautifully positioned on the north bank of the river Ouse, you cannot fail to be struck by the extremely graceful tower and spire, the excellent proportions are apt to make it seem much higher than it really is.

The church stands on rising ground above the main road and the first thing you see is the great west end tower, richly ornamented, with spire above (the latter replaced in 1821 after a fire).

The chapel was built in the mid 14th century when the stone bridge replaced a wooden one, although the upper part, including the west front, was rebuilt in 1847-8.
