All Saints Church
The Parish Church of All Saints stands on the hill of Keuper Marl which rises out of the vale of York on the northeastern edge of Holme-on-Spalding Moor.
A church is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086.
The present structure dates from a later period, although it probably contains some masonry of the Norman period.
