St Thomas's, Osbaldwick

Osbaldwick is mentioned three times in the Doomsday Book as Osboldewic.   It is named after Osbald, an earl in the kingdom of Northumbria. The history of St Thomas’s Church goes back nearly as far, to the 12th century. Within the church there are several reminders of its great age – the windows on the North wall date from the 12th, 13th and 14th centuries, and the 15th century East Window also remains, although re-sited in the 1960s in the South Transept wall. You will see that the snowdrops are out, this is just the beginning.
