St Oswald
Askrigg, Yorkshire
The church is probably the most impressive in Wensleydale with a battlemented tower, nave and chancel.
St Margaret’s is located in the market town of Hawes, one of the largest settlements in the Dales National Park. The Pennine Way, a walking trail regarded as the toughest, most demanding, and most challenging in Britain, passes through the town. A Victorian church, it was built in 1850 and contains fine stained glass windows designed in the 1870s by Mr GJ Baguley of Newcastle-on-Tyne, a millennium window depicting aspects of Dales Life by Sep Waugh of York and pews hand carved by Robert Thompson the "mouseman" of Kilburn.
