About All Saints' Church, Harewood

All Saints' Church stands within the grounds of Harewood House in West Yorkshire.

Built around 1410, it contains six pairs of alabaster effigies carved between 1419 and 1510, commemorating families associated with Harewood Castle and the Gawthorpe estate.

These carvings rank among the finest surviving examples of English alabaster work, rendered in remarkable detail.

Sir George Gilbert Scott undertook a major restoration in 1862-63, which left the interior with plain simplicity and a fine west window.

The Churches Conservation Trust now manages the building.

History of All Saints' Church, Harewood

The present church was built around 1410. Most of the surviving fabric dates from the fifteenth century. Sir George Gilbert Scott, the architect behind St Pancras Station and the Albert Memorial, carried out a major restoration in 1862-63. The effigies inside span nearly a century, from the judge William Gascoigne, who died in 1419, to Edward Redman, whose monument dates from around 1510.

Architecture of All Saints' Church, Harewood

The church was reworked in Scott's 1862-63 restoration, which left the interior with plain, unadorned simplicity and included a fine west window. The alabaster tomb monuments themselves date from well before this Victorian campaign.

Worth knowing

The earliest effigy depicts William Gascoigne, Lord Chief Justice of England, carved in his judicial robes with a purse on one side and a dagger on the other. The monument of Edward Redman, dating from around 1510, includes a small carved figure of a bedesman saying prayers for his soul.
