All Saints' Church, Pickhill

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Pickhill, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was built in about 1150, from which period part of the nave walls survive, along with the chancel arch and south doorway. In about 1200, the north aisle and chapel were added. The chancel was enlarged in the early 14th century, while late in the 15th century, the tower was added. In 1877, the church was restored by George Edmund Street who rebuilt the north aisle, added a vestry, and replaced most of the windows. The church was grade II* listed in 1966.

The church is built of stone with a slate roof, and consists of a nave, a north aisle, a south porch, a chancel with a north chapel and vestry, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, with buttresses, one forming a stair tower, a clock face, two-light bell openings, a band, and an embattled parapet with corner pinnacles. The south door is Norman, and has three orders of shafts with scalloped capitals, and chevrons in the arch. Inside, there is an octagonal font dating from 1662. In the tower are several fragments of pre-Norman Conquest carved stones, one depicting a dragon.

Holme, North Yorkshire

Holme (or Holme on Swale) is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is located near Pickhill, Sinderby and Ainderby Quernhow, on the west bank of the River Swale. The population of the civil parish was estimated at 60 in 2014. Hambleton Ales is a small brewery which started life in Holme. It has now moved to Melmerby. Holme was historically a township in the ancient parish of Pickhill with Roxby in the North Riding of Yorkshire. At the time of the Domesday Book in 1086 it belonged to the Bishop of Durham as part of his manor of Hutton Conyers and Howgrave. The township formed a detached part of the wapentake of Allertonshire, and retained a detached part at Howgrave, 3 miles (5 km) west of the village, apparently only a single farm, into the 19th century. The township was for that reason referred to as Holme cum Howgrave. Holme became a separate civil parish in 1866. From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the district of Hambleton, it is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
