All Saints' Church, Ryther
All Saints' Church is the parish church of Ryther cum Ossendyke, a village north-west of Selby in Yorkshire, in England.
The church was originally built around the time of the Norman Conquest, and it was recorded in the Domesday Book. It has sometimes been described as Saxon, although little material survives from this date - principally, some carved stones set into the wall, and two reset window heads, and possibly the round chancel arch. The nave was rebuilt in the 13th century, and the chancel in the 14th century, when a south aisle was also added to the church. In 1773, the church was restored and partly rebuilt, and the chancel was again rebuilt in 1843. In 1898, C. Hodgson Fowler undertook a major restoration, in which, the brick tower was taken down and replaced by a bell turret, the roof was replaced, and a new east window was added, along with a south porch.
The church is built of a mixture of limestone and gritstone, with a tiled roof. It has a simple plan with a three-bay nave and two-bay chancel. Inside, there is an early font, 15th century piscina and a hagioscope. There are five stone altars, possibly dating from the 11th century, with worn carvings representing the wounds of Christ.
The parish has been reduced in size on several occasions; St Mary's Chapel, Lead was formerly a chapel-of-ease. In 1967, the church was Grade I listed.

Elmet
Elmet (Welsh: Elfed), sometimes Elmed or Elmete, was a Brythonic kingdom thought to have been an independent polity between the 4th century and sometime after the mid-7th century as part of the Hen Ogledd.
The people of Elmet survived as a distinctly recognised group for centuries after it was absorbed into Yorkshire in what later became the smaller area of the West Riding of Yorkshire, and now West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and north Derbyshire.

West Riding of Yorkshire
The West Riding of Yorkshire is one of three historic subdivisions of Yorkshire, England. From 1889 to 1974 the riding was an administrative county named County of York, West Riding. The lieutenancy at that time included the city of York and as such was named "West Riding of the County of York and the County of the City of York". The riding ceased to be used for administrative purposes in 1974, when England's local government was reformed.
Contemporary local government boundaries in Yorkshire largely do not follow those of the riding. All of South Yorkshire (except Finningley) and West Yorkshire were historically within its boundaries, as were the south-western areas of North Yorkshire (including Ripon), the Sedbergh area of Cumbria, the Barnoldswick and Slaidburn areas of Lancashire, the Saddleworth area of Greater Manchester and the part of the East Riding of Yorkshire around Goole and southwest of the River Ouse.
