Holdenby Church of All Saints. (Churches Conservation Trust)
The church now lies remote and isolated beside fields and a pond, beyond the gardens of Holdenby House. A fine building of local ironstone, it is largely 14th century but the chancel was rebuilt between 1843 and 1845 and Sir George Gilbert Scott restored the church in 1867. Inside there is much of interest including an unusual series of seven painted texts, probably Elizabethan, memorials from the 13th century onwards, including incised alabaster slab to William Holdenby (d.1490) and his wife.
