It was the first church in this entire area before many of the other villages emerged. All Hallows was owned by the Yorkshire Sculpture Park for a time (it is virtually on the doorstep). All Hallows was decommissioned as an Anglican Church in the 1970's and was a Youth Activity Centre for a time before becoming residential. The toweris one of the original Beacons, although it was rebuilt in stone in the 17th century. Archaeologists believe it to be in very good condition for its age with incredible views on clear days. The colourful stained glass is a William Morris of The Ascension. The oldest window in the church is above kitchen in the William Morris room. It is believed to be 13th century.
