LAST week’s guest church was St Oswald’s, Thornton-in-Lonsdale, and was correctly identified by Clifford Meehan, of Sutton-in-Craven, and also by Mary Slater, of Langcliffe.

The church is part of the Ingleborough team of churches, also including Bentham, Ingleton, Chapel-le-dale and Burton in Lonsdale, within the Anglican Diocese of Leeds.

On the team website, the church is described as standing near the foot of Ingleborough and as ‘one of the most beautiful churches in the diocese’.

The original church was rebuilt in Norman times by the Mowbray family but with the tower added later in the 15th Century.

A fire in 1933 gutted the church which was rebuilt in the decorated 14th Century Gothic style, the work of church architects, Austin and Paley, responsible for many other churches in the area.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, (who lived from 1859 to 1930) and was the creator of Sherlock Holmes, was married at the church and copies of his marriage certificate are available. The church building has featured in an episode on Conan Doyle in a Tyne Tees TV series.

Also of interest to fans of the Bronte sisters, says the church, is a display featuring Professor C Heywood’s introduction to the latest edition of Emily Bronte’s ‘Wuthering Heights’ which gives a compelling argument for the setting of ‘Wuthering Heights’ being in the vicinity of the church.

What about this week’s chapel, pictured above by Caroline Thompson?
