St Mary's Church

At this time Holme-on-the-Wolds had its own church, but now the imposing church of St Mary's serves both villages.
The church has a tall slender 'Pearson' steeple over 60m high, a local landmark for many miles around.  The church is in the High Gothic style of the 13th century, and faces the drive to Dalton Hall, built by the 3rd Lord Hotham. (who had the railway station built at Kiplingcotes )
He laid the first stone on April 8th 1858, and the church was finally consecrated on August 6th 1861 by the Archbishop of York.

Next to the church are the Tudor style Almshouses, 1873, also built by Lord Hotham, a picturesque group of cottages and a stone chapel.
