St Alban's church is badly in need to a new roof. It may well
cost around £300000 to do such a job. Money may well come from
grants and the Diocese but we all need to help as well.
There will be many fund raising events to come, so please
support these. Do so even if you are not a regular church goer
St Alban's does belong to us all.

The Archtecture of St Alban's
From Niklaus Pevsner's Buildings of England -
Yorkshire: East Riding
Largely built in 1855 incorporating fragments of medieval
decorative material. By Mallinson and Healey. Banded pebble and
reddish-brown brick with ashlar dressings and Welsh slate roof.
Gothic Revival style with recticulated-type tracery throughout.
4-bay nave with south aisle, south porch and north vestry, 2-bay
chancel. West end has buttresses with offsets. Large 3-light pointed
window in double-chamfered surround under hoodmould with face stops
and brick relieving arch. To west end of aisle an ogeed lancet in
double- chamfered surround. Nave has end buttresses with offsets.
South aisle: to second bay gabled south porch has pointed-arched,
double-chamfered opening with hollow-and-roll moulding to head under
hoodmould with reused medieval face stops. Within a pointed, studded
double plank door in moulded surround. Stone coping to gable. To
first bay a 2-light window otherwise 3-light windows, all in
double-chamfered, 4-centred surrounds. North side has buttresses
with offsets. To 2 westernmost bays are 2-light pointed windows in
double-chamfered surrounds under hoodmoulds. Otherwise vestry has
plank door in ogee surround; to east end a 2-light pointed window
in double-chamfered surround. Nave has ashlar copings, and
twin-light, gabled bell turret to east apex. Chancel has buttresses
with offsets. To south side a plank priest's door in ogeed surround
otherwise 2-light, pointed windows in double-chamfered surrounds.
East end has similar 3-light window under hoodmould with reused face
stops. Ashlar copings. Cross at apex. Interior. 4-bay arcade of
double-chamfered pointed arches on octagonal piers with moulded
capitals and bases. Double-chamfered, pointed chancel arch,
octagonal responds, moulded capitals and bases. C19 octagonal font
on shaft. Neoclassical wall tablet, to Matthew Topham d 1823.
Fragments of medieval zigzag in the outer north side wall towards
west end and to south porch.
( I actually suspect the 4 bay arcade is part of the original
medieval church ).
