About this place
St Oswald's is the parish church in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, close to the Pennine Way and beneath Penyghent. Its origins reach back to the early twelfth century. Features highlighted by the church include a Norman doorway and a rounded font with herringbone decoration.
Walkers and other visitors can combine an interest in the building with the village's wider history. The church's directory describes it as normally open daily, but gives no fixed opening schedule. Check with the parish before a visit that depends on entering the building, and consult its current notices if you wish to attend worship.
