St Mary's Church is the parish church of Carleton-in-Craven, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

There was a church in the village in the medieval period. It was rebuilt in the 16th century, the new building having a square tower, and capable of seating 250 worshippers. It was repaired in 1841, and a gallery was added. [1] However, in 1859, it was demolished, and a new church was built, to a design by F. H. Pownall. It was Grade II listed in 1988. [2]

The Gothic revival church is built of stone, with a stone slate roof. It consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a lower chancel, and a west tower. The tower has four stages, buttresses, a west doorway with a trefoil head, and a square stair turret, rising to an octagon. The bell openings are paired, and above them is a parapet and a small pyramidal roof. The interior is largely original. The east window, by Clayton and Bell, depicts a tree of Jesse. The font is Norman. [2] [3]

Bolton Priory, whose full title is The Priory Church of St Mary and St Cuthbert, Bolton Abbey, is a Grade I listed parish church of the Church of England in the village of Bolton Abbey, within the Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. There has been continuous worship on the site since 1154, when a group of Augustinian canons moved from their original community in nearby village of Embsay and started construction of the present building, which is now situated within a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979. Despite the loss of most of the Priory buildings during the Dissolution of the Monasteries, the western half of the original nave was preserved so that the local parish could continue its worship there. There is today a full liturgical calendar, although a programme of other events, which formerly included the spring Blessing of the Lambs, the Bolton Priory Celebrity Organ Recitals, the Bolton Priory Mystery Play and the Bolton Priory Live Nativity, now only comprises the Bolton Priory Concert Series and the annual St Cuthbert lecture. The Priory is a member of the Greater Churches Network, and pre-Covid welcomed more than 160,000 visitors a year.
