Church of All Saints

About

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Staveley, North Yorkshire, a village in England. There was a church in Staveley in the mediaeval period. It was rebuilt in 1831, at a cost of £1,000, to a design by Peter Atkinson. In 1864, it was demolished and again rebuilt. The design was one which John Lowe had drawn up in 1840, and is in a simple and ahistoric Gothic typical of that period. The work cost £2,000, and on completion, it could seat 230 worshippers. In 1874, stained glass by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier was installed in the east window. The building was grade II listed in 1984.

The church is built of sandstone, and has a slate roof with green bands. It consists of a nave, a chancel and a west steeple. The steeple has a tower with four stages, buttresses, string courses, a south doorway, a south clock face, single-light bell openings, and a broach spire with lucarnes. An Anglo-Saxon cross shaft with interlace pattern has been reset into the base of the tower. The windows are lancets.
