St Oswald's Hall is a grade II* listed former church in Fulford, in south-eastern York, in England.

The church lies west of the main part of Fulford, near the River Ouse. It is possible that this was the original site of the village, which is now centred on the main road. [1] [2] [3]

The church was built in the 12th century, a small building of stone from Tadcaster. The nave has been tentatively dated to about 1150, and the chancel to around 1180. The south door and windows on the north side of the chancel are original, while the east window dates from the 14th century, and the southern windows are 17th-century. The church originally had a steeple, but already in 1577 it was recorded as being "in decay", and it was later demolished. In 1795, a brick tower was added, with a pyramidal roof, and a new west window was added. A vestry was also added, along with a west gallery. [1] [2] [3]

The church was further altered in 1809, when new pews and a new pulpit were added, and the ceiling plaster is from this date. The roof tiles are acorn shaped, made by Wade and Cherry around 1870. In 1890, a lych gate was constructed at the entrance to the churchyard. Inside the church, the floor in the chancel is tiled, with the tiles thought to be 13th-century, having originally been laid at Jervaulx Abbey, but other fittings have been removed. [1] [2] [3]

A new St Oswald's Church was constructed in the village in 1866, and the old church was converted into a house in 1980. [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 Bolton Abbey (village), 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, in addition to which the Priory hosts the Bolton Priory Concert Series, the Bolton Priory Celebrity Organ Recitals, the Bolton Priory Mystery Play, the Bolton Priory Live Nativity, and the annual St Cuthbert lecture. The Priory is a member of the Greater Churches Network, and welcomes more than 160,000 visitors a year.
