Part of the churchyard. The Anglican parish church of Saint Oswald was built circa 1446 incorporating some earlier structure. The church was badly restored in 1853. Constructed of rubble stone with lead roofs. The church has a very fine nave ceiling and many fine 18th and early 19th century wall monuments. Listed, grade I, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1301613 Askrigg is a small, linear village in Wensleydale in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, some 10 miles west of Leyburn, and 5 miles east of Hawes. Settled since the Iron Age, the name Askrigg is Old Norse - askr (ash tree) and hryggr (ridge), - the ridge where ash trees grew. The village was granted a weekly Market Charter by Elizabeth I in 1587. More recently, the village served as the fictional town of Darrowby in the 1978-1990 BBC TV series ‘All Creatures Great and Small’.
