Swale Hall Lane Grinton Richmond DL11 6HL
The atmospheric and beautiful St Andrew’s Church has stood at the heart of Grinton since the 12th century. Over the years it’s been expanded and reshaped, with a major restoration in the 1890s giving the form we see today. Inside, you’ll find lovely historic details - a pulpit with its original sounding board to help the preacher’s voice carry, and a proud Royal coat of arms.
