St Oswald
Kirk Sandall, Yorkshire
The church is one of the oldest foundations in Doncaster and exhibits a fascinating mix of architectural style.
The top of the tower is parapetted and has decorated pinnacles at each comer. Gargoyles at each comer dispense rainwater and there are figure heads on the north and south walls. The north and south arcades are also late 13th century.
The aisle windows were all built square headed and not with the pointed Gothic arch. They are simply decorated with reticulated tracery and contain some beautiful stained glass. There are also some carved heads and gargoyles. Behind the altar is a simply carved stone reredos and the sanctuary floor is beautiful Victorian tiles.
The church also contains some interesting memorials and the churchyard contains old graves with interesting inscriptions.
