Austwick, church of the Epiphany

Church of the Epiphany
Austwick
North Yorkshire

Austwick lies just off the A65, some six miles North West of Settle. The small church of the Epiphany can be found at the junction of Graystonber Lane and Main Street. It is a small church with a polygonal apse at its East end.

The church was converted from a lecture hall into the parish church in 1839, for local business man Charles Ingleby, with the apse being added in 1883.
