St Hilda's Church, Beadlam Explained

St Hilda's Church is the parish church of Beadlam, a village in North Yorkshire in England.

The church was constructed in 1882, to a design by Charles Hodgson Fowler. The church cost £1,119 13/6 to build. The bell tower was weatherboarded in 1961, and in 1997, the church was grade II listed.[1]

The church is in the 13th century style, and is built of stone, with tiled roofs. It consists of a nave and chancel under a single roof, a south porch, north-east vestry, and a west tower containing a single bell. The belltower is built of wood, and has a pyramidal spire. The windows are all lancets, and the east window has stained glass designed by Kempe & Tower, which was added around 1905. Inside, there is an octagonal font in stone, and a monument to Lilian Duncombe, carved in 1905 by Lady Feodora Gleichen.[2]
