Crosby Ravensworth

A fine church set at the edge of the vilage. Parts of the church date to the 12th century but religious gatherings have taken place here for much longer as evidenced by the 7th century cross shaft in the church yard, photo below.

There are some green man type carvings on the tower and an interesting gargoyle holding a human form. The top of the tower is much more recent than most of the other church and probably dates from the early 19th century.
