Winifred Holtby's grave in churchyard
Our vibrant Church community has an active social committee organising social and fund raising events. Worship within our Benefice (a group of eight village churches) is led by a ministry team. Our church is justifiably proud of its dedication to "AII Saints" - not just as a worthy and ancient building but as a constant reminder of the presence of the living God whom we seek to worship here with both "reverence and reIevance".
All services are followed by refreshments.
In the churchyard you'll find the Rudston monolith. At eight metres in height, this stunning slender pillar is the tallest standing stone in Britain.
