St John's Church, Yedingham

The church, in 2015

St John's Church is the parish church of Yedingham, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

A church was built in Yedingham in the 12th century. It was entirely rebuilt between 1862 and 1863, the chancel to a design by William Butterfield, and the nave to a design by William Tuke. The only survivals from the old church are some elements of the south doorway, and the font. ^[1] The church was grade II listed in 1966. ^[2]

The church is built of sandstone with a stone slate roof, and consists of a three-bay nave and a chancel. At the west end is a wide pilaster buttress with round-arched openings carrying a gabled double bellcote. The south doorway has a round arch and two orders, on paired columns with leaf capitals, the outer order is chamfered, and the inner order incorporates 12th-century moulding. On the sides are sill bands and round-arched windows. The font has a tub design, with an octagonal base. ^{[2] [3]}
