URPoint Details
All Saint’s Church, (Churches Conservation Trust) stands in the park of Harewood House and was built about 1410. Little was altered structurally by Carr in 1793, but Sir Gilbert Scott’s restoration in 1863 re-ordered the interior considerably to accord with Victorian mediealism. Inside is severe and the lack of decorative carving contrasts strongly with its greatest treasures the six alabaster tombs and pairs of effigies of the owners of Harewood and nearby Gawthorpe, dating from 1419 to 1510, and these provide a unique display of costume, armour and funerary design during those years. There is good Victorian glass by Kempe and others.
