All Saints' Church, Rufforth
All Saints' Church is the parish church of the village of Rufforth, in the rural western part of the City of York, in England.
A church was constructed on the site in the 12th century. It was restored in 1832. In 1866, it was described as "much modernised" and "scarcely worth notice". At the time, its nave and chancel were of almost equal length. Its porch was recently built of brick, and it also had a recently added belfry.
However, by the late 19th century, the church was in poor repair. From 1894 to 1895, it was demolished, and a new church designed by James Demaine and Walter Brierley was constructed, to seat a congregation of 120. The church was grade II listed in 1987. It was refurbished in 1998, and in 2008, its peal of bells was increased from 3 to 6.
The church is built of stone, some of which is reused from the Mediaeval church, and is in the neo-Gothic style. It has a nave of four bays, with a single bay chancel, an aisle, and a south porch, containing a 12th century doorway. There is also a tower on the south side, which has a staircase turret at its west end, and has a small spire. There is a small 12th century doorway in its south wall, a survival from the Mediaeval church. In the north aisle are two windows from the original church, the former church's main east window in the east wall, and a smaller window in the west wall. The ceiling is barrel-vaulted in oak, and has carved bosses and other carved figures.

All Saints' Church, Moor Monkton
All Saints' Church is the parish church of Moor Monkton, a village north-west of York in England.
The church dates from the 12th century, when the nave and chancel were constructed. From this period survives some of the stonework, the two south doorways, two windows in the north wall, and the lower part of the chancel arch. The church was largely rebuilt in 1638 by Sir Henry Slingsby, who added a brick tower. In 1879, the church was heavily restored by James Fowler, who replaced the tower, and removed most of the furnishings and stained glass.
The church was Grade II* listed in 1966. Lying a mile south of the village of Moor Monkton, it was lit only by candles, oil and gas lamps until 2009, when it was finally connected to the electric grid.
The church is built of sandstone and gritstone, with a tile roof. The nave is of four bays, and the chancel of three. The tower has three stages and full-height buttresses. There is a parapet, with gargoyles in the form of animal heads. Built into the porch is a slab which depicts the head and feet of a priest. Inside, there is a small figure with a missing head, and an 18th century memorial showing a figure on a bier.
