All Saints Nether Silton North Yorkshire Village Parish churches

All Saints Church Nether Silton

Rebuilt in 1812. Basically a chapel of ease enlarged in 1878 for village worship and convenience. There is a gallery at the back of the church. Its Norman font is tub-shaped. The altar rails are supposed to be from H.MS. Dreadnought.

The lettering on the mystery stone to the south has the first letter of each word:

"Here The Grand Old Manor House Stood The Black Beams Were Oak, The Great Walls Were Good The Walls Of The East Wing Are Hidden Here A Thatched Cottage Like A Barn Was Here Erected Year A.D. 1765 A Wide Porch Spans A Yard And Alcove."

Like Boltby, this church was enlarged for village use in the mid 19th century but has always been part of the Leake Parish.
