Conistone

St Mary, Conistone

Resting on the banks of the River Wharfe opposite the dramatic outcrop of Kilnsey Crag, St Mary, Conistone is a gem which pays discovering. 
It is thought to be one of the oldest churches in the area and it is not difficult to detect the deep riches of prayer offered across more than a thousand years. The loyal and dedicated community cherish the church on behalf of all, committed to the worship of God and the hospitality of Christ.

History

It is thought that two semi circular arches between the Nave and the North aisle date back before the Norman conquest and certainly the font, the arch of the south doorway and certain windows appear to date back to Norman times. The church has been restored three times in 1846; 1957; and 2012.

Fountains Abbey & the Mouseman

. 

The pews, choir stalls and chairs were made by Thompson of Kilburn, 'the mouseman'. The trademark carving of a mouse can be found in many places within the church.

A DALES PRAYER

May the Father's grace abound in you
        as the flowing water of the beck.


May the Son's love and hope invigorate you
        as the rising slopes of fell and dale.


May the Spirit's companionship be with you
        as the glory of the golden meadows.
