All Saints' Church, Burythorpe

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Burythorpe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

The church sits on top of a hill, west of the village, with views in all directions.^[1]^[2] The first church on the site was Mediaeval,^[2] described in 1848 as "an ancient edifice with substantial buttresses".^[3] It was demolished in the 1850s and replaced by a new building, designed by John Bownas and William Atkinson. The building was Grade II listed in 1966.^[4]

The church is built of limestone with a Welsh slate roof, and is in the Gothic Revival style. It consists of a four-bay nave with a south porch, and a single-bay chancel with a north vestry. The west front has angle buttresses, and a central buttress carrying a gabled bellcote, flanked by trefoil-headed lancet windows. The porch has a pointed arch with a moulded surround. In the nave are paired lancet windows, and at the east end are stepped lancets with a cinquefoil above. Inside the church is a 12th-century tub font and two marble wall tablets from the 1850s. The east window, contemporary with the church, was designed by Alexander Gibbs.^[4]^[1]^[2]
