Selby Abbey, North Yorkshire. - a photo on Flickriver

The Abbey Church of Our Lord, the Blessed Virgin Mary and St Germain.
Grade l listed.

Detail: High Altar.
The reredos was carved by Peter Rendl of Oberammergau for the 1909 restoration. It's a fine piece but it seriously obscures the excellent east window.

Selby Abbey

Iconic architecture; sacred space and a vibrant worshiping community make Selby Abbey the place it is today. Men and women have worshiped here and served the wider community for over 900 years. Selby is a small Yorkshire town, 12 miles South of York with one of the most superb Abbey churches to be found anywhere in England. Selby Abbey is often called the hidden Gem of Yorkshire as no other church has the size, the age or the beauty that makes this building so unique. The Abbey is not just a building it is a living and vibrant part of the local community yet provides space that allow the visitor and the worshiper alike to find peace, tranquillity and the very presence of God.

Throughout its long and turbulent history the Abbey has undergone many changes and therefore never stands still. We look forward to welcoming you to this very grand building and hope you will enjoy it for its history, its architecture and its space but above all for an encounter with God.
