All Saints' Church, Wykeham
All Saints' Church, Wykeham

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Wykeham, a village near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, a town in England. A chapel was built in Wykeham in 1321 by John de Wykeham, and dedicated to Saint Helen. The building fell into ruin, although the tower remained standing. A new church was built immediately to the north between 1853 and 1855, to a design by William Butterfield. Once the church was complete, he restored the tower of the old church, adding a spire, and altering it to serve as a lychgate for the new building. The church was grade II* listed in 1967, while the lychgate is grade II listed. The church is built of sandstone with slate roofs. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a chancel, and an organ loft and vestry. At the west end are three buttresses and two two-light windows with Y-tracery, above which is a lancet window. The east window has three lights with pointed heads and a continuous hood mould. Inside, the pulpit, font and altar candlesticks were all designed by Butterfield, while the choir stalls, altar rails, litany desk and candelabra were designed in 1937 by Robert Thompson. The east window has stained glass by William Wailes. The lychgate is built of sandstone, and has three stages, diagonal buttresses, string courses, and a staircase extension to the north with a slate roof. In the bottom stage is an archway with a double-chamfered surround and a pointed head, a narrow window and a clock face on the middle stage, and louvred two-light bell openings. Above is an octagonal broach spire with lucarnes and a weathervane.

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Brompton by Sawdon, a village near Scarborough, North Yorkshire, England. The church is most famous as the location where, in 1802, the poet William Wordsworth married Mary Hutchinson. In 2002 a festival celebrated the 200th anniversary of the wedding. There was a church on the site by the 12th century. The oldest parts of the current building are the tower and nave, which date from the 14th century, although some fragments of the earlier building are incorporated into it. The arcade, south aisle and chancel were added in the 15th century. The church was restored in 1878, and the south porch was added in 1895. The building was Grade I listed in 1967. The church is built of sandstone with a slate roof. The steeple has a tower with three stages, large diagonal buttresses, a northeast stair turret, and bell openings with ogee-headed lights and pointed hood moulds. On the tower is an octagonal broach spire with lucarnes and a weather vane. There are embattled parapets on the porch, the aisles and the chapel, and in the nave and south wall of the chancel are three-light Perpendicular windows. The walls of the church contain re-set Norman fragments, including two figures of women, one seated, who may represent the Virgin Mary. Inside, the gallery and organ case date from 1893 and were designed by Temple Moore. The font is circular and is 13th-century. There are several monuments, including a tablet from 1580 and a wall brass from 1688.
