Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Masham, North Yorkshire

 

Masham is best known these days as the home of Theakston's brewery and its Old Peculier, along with Black Sheep Ale.  This is the town's church, dating from the 12th Century - the tower being built in 1150. The spire is presumably a later addition.
