Church of St Mary

Gainford church tower Gainford Church (date c.1200), which stands on the site of an earlier Saxon edifice, was ceded by Bernard Baliol to St Mary's Abbey at York in 1159. It was restored in 1862, when a Roman inscribed stone was found worked up in one of the tower piers. [Murray's Handbook:1890].
