- Sockburn Girsby, All Saints Parish
Catalogue Description
Sockburn is an ancient parish, which includes the Yorkshire towns of Girsby and Over Dinsdale.The original church was disused from 1838 and is now a ruin. The remains of the building are to the southwest of Sockburn Hall. The "new" church was erected in Girsby (See EP/Soc 2/2). In spite of the Victoria County History of Yorkshire proclaiming "The new church at Girsby is an uninteresting building with round-headed windows", it has been designated a grade II listed building by English Heritage.
