Geocache Description:


The church of St Nicholas is a single-cell building substantially of the 12thc., built of rubble masonry with a plain round-headed S doorway to the chancel. Two restoration programmes took place in the 19thc. One, as noted by Canon Dixon, vicar of Bishopthorpe 1837-54, included the addition of a brick porch, a brick tower, a ceiling and a gallery. A second restoration removed most of this, replacing the brick porch with one of stone, into which the S doorway was reset. The main points of interest include the original decorated S doorway which was reset as part of the 19thc. restoration work, now forming the entrance to the 19thc. porch. The E end of the church also has three small round-headed windows with arcuated lintels with a small mandorla-shaped oculus above. History Count Alan held the manor in 1086. No church or priest was recorded. At that time it was called Ascam or Ascham; the addition of Bryan relates to Bryan Fitzalan, who held it in the 12thc.
