The Saxon tower of Hovingham Church of All Saints

            The tower of this church was built shortly before the Conquest in the reign of the pious Saxon King Edward the Confessor (1042 - 1066) who founded Westminster Abbey. Following his example. ruined churches were rebuilt all over the country . Domesday also informs us that prior to the Conquest, the land at Hovingham was owned by Orm. The inscription on the famous Saxon sundial at Kirkdale (6 miles away near Kirkbymoorside) tells us;

“Orm, Gamal’s son bought St. Gregory’s Minster when it was all broken down and fallen, and he let it be made anew from the ground to Christ and St. Gregory, in the days of Edward the King and Tosti the Earl”.
