view of church interior - detail

Scene Description: Source caption: "This small turret containing a blocked doorway and stone spiral staircase is the only surviving portion of the Abbey which gave the village its name. Presumably it has been deliberately saved perhaps as a garden ornament - it seems curious that every other last stone has been removed to use elsewhere."

No individual entry found for Rosedale in the Domesday survey. The entry for the Cistercian priory here in the Victoria County History (York, vol. 3, 1974) notes: "The priory of Rosedale was founded in the reign of Richard I by Robert, the son of Nicholas de Stuteville, and was under the invocation of St. Mary and St. Lawrence [...] The house was supervised on 7 June and suppressed on 17 August 1535." The entry for this church in A Church Near You [ww.achurchnearyou.com/church/8013/about-us/] [accessed 25 September 2019] notes: "In 1839 the old Priory chapel was pulled down and a larger church built on much the same site." The baptismal font located in the church of St. Lawrence, Rosedale, consists of a round basin raised on a quadrangular base, the latter clearly modern; the basin however appears old and harks back in shape and general design to the crude forms of pre-Conquest basins, especifically the one at Morwenstow [cf. BSI entry], although this is one is even less decorated; it may be either re-tooled or a modern version; if it is indeed medieval, its date could be as early as the 11th century. There are metal staples in the upper rim, probably from the cover locking hardware.
