All Saints Church by pcoulson

All Saints Church

This is All Saints Church at Harewood House,
The original building dates back 1116 the church was later completely re-built in the 15th century by the descendants of Sir William de Aldeburgh (the builder of Harewood Castle), and altered again in the late 18th century, both by John Carr, the architect of Harewood House, and by Edwin Lascelles’
All Saints has not been used for regular worship since the late 1960s, but the Lascelles family vault is there. It is still used occasionally for concerts, baptisms or memorial services.
Really beautiful church. I love that it is centered in the middle with the greenery and then the beautiful sky.

@Weezilou Thank you for your comment Louise, yes we go back a long way
The earliest evidence for modern humans in England is a jawbone discovered in England at Kents Cavern in 1927, which was dated to between 41,000 and 44,000 years old.
The earliest writing ever discovered in the UK. The message is part of a haul of 405 writing tablets unearthed in the heart of London, metres from Bank underground station. They date from as early as AD 43, the year the Romans started their conquest of Britain.

@peterlgrave Thank you for your comment Peter. The church was vested in The Churches Conservation Trust, in 1978. Since then, the Trust has cared for and maintained the church, keeping it open for visitors and the community to enjoy:)
