Summary Description

The church is located at the southern edge of the picturesque stone-built village of Wensley, which is 1½ miles south-west from Leyburn and almost 50 miles north-west of York. The church has a long and complex history, there was almost certainly a church here in the later Anglo-Saxon period. The slightly raised position of the church on the bank of the river is emphasised by the graceful west tower, with the clear lines and elegant dimensions typical of the early 18th century.
