Saint Marys Church Long Preston (Long Preston)

United Kingdom / England / Settle / Long Preston
 church, Grade I Listed (UK)

The long, low church with its elegant 18th century pinnacles stands back from the village among sheltering trees. Superb workmanship in stone and wood, combining strength with gracefulness and ranging from Norman to Georgian periods, makes it one of the gems of the area. There is a notable 18th century pipe organ, and exquisite 17th century pulpit and a marvellous black-and-white roof. One of the few churches in this area to be mentioned in the Domesday Book. The lower part of the tower is Norman while the nave dates from the late 14th or early 15th century
