Church of All Saints

About

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Kirkby Overblow, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The oldest part of the church is the north doorway, which is probably 11th century, while the north transept is 14th century. It became a collegiate church in 1362, enabling the rector to become known as a provost. The church was almost entirely rebuilt between 1780 and 1781, and in 1848, it was described as a "a spacious and venerable structure". It was restored in 1872 by G. E. Street, and was grade II listed in 1966.

The church is built of gritstone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a nave, a south aisle, a south porch, a north transept, a chancel and a west tower. The tower has three stages, diagonal buttresses, Perpendicular windows, a sundial, a west clock face, two-light bell openings with hood moulds, and an embattled parapet with crocketed corner pinnacles. There are also embattled parapets on the body of the church.
