St Simon and St Jude Catholic Church, Ulshaw Bridge This isolated church struck me as unusual, by having a house joined onto it - the church almost looked like an annexe. This dates to the time when it was still "risky" to be a Roman Catholic - around 1800 churches were often "disguised" as houses. This one is disguised by hiding it behind the priest's house. The RC Church at Knaresborough was disguised as a large Georgian house.

St. Oswalds Church Standing alone, unabashed and unashamed, this little church serves the community of Thornton Steward, half a mile to the east. The noticeboard outside the church claims that a place of worship has stood here since Pre Norman times.
