All Hallows Church, Mitton

There has been a Church at Mitton since the C12th or even earlier. The parish church of All Hallows deserves recognition as one of the finest parish churches in the north of England.
The first historical record of a church at Mitton comes from 1103 when a man with the name of Ralph the Red was the rector. Ralph's church was probably made of timber, for the earliest remains of a stone church we can find here come from around 1270. The imposing and stylish tower was added before 1438, but the real treasure at Great Mitton is the interior of the church.
Unfortunately the church was locked when I visited today so I was unable to get inside, another visit is definitely required.
