The Church of St Andrew, Grinton, is the parish church for the village of Grinton in North Yorkshire, England. The grade I listed structure has also been called The Cathedral of the Dales [note 1] , and as the only parish church in Upper Swaledale, it was at the end of the Swaledale Corpse Way, where those who had died in the upper valley, were brought for burial. Grinton never developed past village status, but its noted crossing point of the River Swale afforded it more importance than other settlements.

Contents

The church was built in the 12th century and has many alterations to its original Norman architecture. As the church was the only parish church in the area, for 400 years St Andrew's presided over the largest parish by area in Yorkshire. The church is notable for having a chained bible, a Jacobean pulpit with sounding board, and a hagioscope in the south wall. The church is also noted for being the most northerly of the "Pennine Perpendicular churches".

History

The church was built in the 12th century and was given to the Augustinian Priory of Bridlington, who owned much of the land surrounding Grinton after it was given to them in early 12th century by William de Gaunt. [3] Before the building of the church, the valley came under the same parish as Catterick, which Paulinus had established in the 7th century. [4] Whilst there is no firm evidence of such, it is believed that a Saxon place of worship existed on the site of St Andrews, and when the church was built, it was erected on the same site. [5] [6] Originally, the church was staffed by the Augustinian monks, when it was referred to as Ecclesia de Swaledala, [7] but in the late 13th century, a vicar was appointed to be the parish priest. At the dissolution, the church became an asset of the Crown until 1890, when it became the property of the Bishop of Ripon. [8] It is now in the Diocese of Leeds. [9]

The building has had additions placed upon it in the 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th centuries, with further modifications since then. It has a tower (facing west), a north aisle, a nave, a south aisle, a north chapel, a chancel, a south chapel, a vestry and a porch (south facing). [10] Pevsner called St Andrews a "low, grey, spreading Perpendicular church", whilst acknowledging that it contained the original Norman architecture and also Decorated stylings too. [11] The church is noted as being the most northerly of what has become to be termed the "Pennine Perpendicular churches." [12] Several churches exist in the Perpendicular style in Yorkshire, but the rest of the existing churches in the Pennines are in a different style. [13]

From the altar in the chancel, to the back of the tower, the length is 119 feet (36 m), [14] though the main body of the church is 89 feet (27 m) in length by 54 feet 4 inches (16.56 m) in width. [10] The church has a clerestory, but this only has windows in the south side. [15] [note 2] The nave has a Jacobean pulpit, which was fitted with a sounding board in 1718 allowing for increase audibility. [17] [18]

Another rarity is the hagioscope located in the south west wall. [19] A hagioscope, also known as a squint or as a leper's squint, [20] was used so that people could observe the process of worship without actually being there. Sometimes this was so concurrent activity with the service could be carried simultaneously, but it also allowed those with a communicable disease in the parish (such as leprosy), to witness the service without infecting the rest of the congregation. [21] The porch has grooves in its stonework which are thought to have been cut by men who were waiting for the lords to finish their church service before going out hunting. [22]

St Andrew's was renovated between 1895 and 1896 at a cost of £3,000, and was officially re-opened during Easter of 1896. [14] Previous to this, the church had box pews, but these were removed in the renovations in favour of normal pews. [23] Many of the medieval stained glass windows were kept during the renovations, [24] although some new windows were installed, including one by Charles Eamer Kempe, which is on the east side of the church. [25] At the same time, the bells were recast, the tower received a new clock, [26] and the Norman font was returned to the church. [27]

As St Andrew's was the parish church for all of Upper Swaledale, it was the only one to have consecrated ground. When the people of the upper dale (around Muker and Keld) wanted relatives burying, they had to carry the coffin the 12 miles (19 km) down to Grinton. [28] The route is now a recognised path known as the Swaledale Corpse Road. This practice ended in 1580 when a new church was built in Muker (St Mary's) which had consecrated ground. Even so, it would be another 300 years before Muker was given a parish of its own and the overall size of the Parish of Grinton was reduced. [29] Before this, Grinton Parish was the largest in Yorkshire for 400 years, [30] and was historically known as Swaledale with Grinton Parish, or Grinton-in-Swaledale. [31] [32] As St Andrew's was the focal church in Upper Swaledale and a point of interest, it became known as The Cathedral of the Dales, a name that it is still referred to in modern times. [33]

The church has a colony of bats living in it, and as they are protected species, despite the damage caused, the community have taken on board their protected status and used the bats as an educational tool for schoolchildren. [34]

The church has a chained bible that was marked in 1752 with the following words; "for the use of the inhabitants of Grinton, 1752." [35] The habit of chaining books in churches was an old custom and a way for churchwardens to allow the church to keep hold of its property. A supposed edict by Henry VIII, ordered churches to have one chained bible on show, though there are instances of this happening before The Reformation. Another order by Edward VI stated that each church should "provide within three moneths one boke of the whole bible of the largest volume in English....to be sette upp in some convenient place within the churche[sic]." [36] Only two churches in the old North Riding of Yorkshire still had a chained bible by the turn of the 20th century; the other church was St Michael's at Kirklington. [37]

Listed structures

Besides the church itself, which is grade I listed, [38] there are three other listed structures associated with the church.

Parish and Benefice

St Andrew's is one of four churches in the ecclesiastical parish of Swaledale with Arkengarthdale (which is also the name of the Benefice). Weekly attendance at all four churches between 2009 and 2018 was just over 70 people across the whole parish. [42] The other three churches in the parish and benefice are: St Mary's in Muker, Holy Trinity in Low Row and St Mary's in Arkengarthdale. [43] [44] The attendance statistics are drawn from all four churches, but not all have services running every Sunday. [45]

The church is used as a venue by some of the musical artists during the Swaledale Festival. The acoustics of the church are said to be good for performances. [46] St Andrews also features in an episode of the television programme All Creatures Great and Small . In it, Tristan goes bell-ringing in the church. [47]
