Prior to that it may have been one of the places where St Paulinus preached and baptised during his
- [Shelford](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/shelford/) - Part of a carved 10th century cross was found in the church, and is one of the earliest and best examples of Christian art to survive from Nottinghamshire. On one side is an image of the Virgin and Child which is similar to an image of around the same date found at Nunburnholme in the
- [St Bees](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/st-bees/) - There has been a church at St Bees since at least the 10th century, and it is one of a very small number of churches, mostly on the western coast, dedicated to St Bega. She was said to be an Irish princess who had sworn a vow of chastity, and fled to England to found
- [Whitby](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/whitby/) - There is no evidence of a parish church on this site before the early 12th century, yet it stands just outside the precincts of Whitby Abbey, one of the most significant Anglo-Saxon churches in the country. Founded by St Hilda as a monastery in 657 and then called Streonshalh, this was the site of the
- [Whalley](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/whalley/) - Although the first mention of the church is in 1086 in Domesday Book, it was in existence by the 10th century and acted as a mother church for a large parish in the Ribble Valley area. There are three 10th century crosses in the churchyard, one with free geometric patterns and another showing images of
- [Sinnington](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/sinnington/) - The parish church at Sinnington was probably founded in the late 9th or early 10th century after the Viking invasions. It became a focal-point for high-status Christian art in Ryedale, and many fragments of richly-carved stone survive in the church. These include one of the finest depictions of a 'bound dragon', common in the Ryedale
- [Sherburn](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/sherburn/) - The earliest parts of the church date from the 12th century, but several fragments of sculpture from the 9th and 10th centuries show that this was an important Christian site far earlier. These are a mixture of designs, although one has the top of a saint's head and another has what may be Norse pagan
- [Sandbach](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/sandbach/) - The church was an important mother-church for the region from at least the 8th century overseeing a very large parish, at a site linking the kingdom of Mercia to the coastal regions under Irish influence. Several fragments of carved stone crosses of the 9th century indicate that Sandbach was a hub for Christian art in
- [Ripon](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/ripon/) - The church at Ripon has been a mother church for the region since the 7th century. The first church on this site was founded as part of a monastery by St Wilfrid in 661, and when it was built in the 670s was one of the earliest large stone buildings in the north of England.
- [Otley](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/otley/) - From the 8th and 9th centuries Otley was probably a minster or mother-church serving Wharfdale. Parts of the nave walls may survive from the Anglo-Saxon stone church, which suggest it was one of the largest parish churches in the north of England at the time, which may previously have been a monastery. The church contains
- [Norham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/norham/) - A 10th century document records that the first wooden church at Norham was built on the orders of Bishop Ecgred of Lindisfarne between 830 and 845. He moved the bodies of St Cuthbert and St Ceolwulf there from the church on Lindisfarne following Viking raids. Some fragments of crosses and other carved stone from the
- [Monkwearmouth](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/monkwearmouth/) - Founded in 674 by Benedict Biscop, Monkwearmouth is one of the most significant and important sites of Christian history in the north of England, and was a joint monastery with Jarrow over the River Wear. The Venerable Bede was a monk of the abbey until his death in 735, and it is thanks to his
- [Middleton](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/middleton/) - The first church here may have been connected to the early Christian church at Lastingham, as the 8th century cross is very similar to one found there. There was probably a wooden church before the 10th century stone church of which the tower and nave walls remain. The church at Middleton was clearly very important
- [Maughold](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/maughold/) - The present church dates from the 12th century but occupies one of the oldest Christian sites on the island. St Maughold had supposedly been an Irish prince and robber who was converted by St Patrick and afterwards sailed to the Isle of Man landing at St Maughold's Head. According to a late 7th century Life
- [Masham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/masham/) - Recent excavations near the church revealed a graveyard containing Christian burials from the late-7th to the mid-11th centuries, showing that Masham was a very early centre of importance in the Christian mission in the north. In the churchyard there is a highly-decorated late-8th or early-9th century cross shaft with Biblical scenes of David, Samson, and
- [Lindisfarne](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/lindisfarne/) - Holy Island is mainly associated with the hugely-important monastery founded by St Aidan in 635 as a base for his Christian mission in the north of England. St Cuthbert was prior and then bishop of Lindisfarne in the late 7th century, and his body was placed in a shrine in the church after his death.
- [Lastingham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/lastingham/) - The first church at Lastingham was a monastery founded by St Cedd in 654, where he died and was buried in 664. His brother St Chad succeeded him as abbot before leaving to become Bishop of Mercia in Lichfield. A small fragment of the stone roof gable survives from the earliest church. The importance of
- [Lancaster](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/lancaster/) - The original church was probably a monastery or minster founded inside a ruined Roman fort in the late 7th or early 8th century. While the current church dates largely from the 14th or 15th century a carved cross of the 8th century (now in the British Museum) shows the presence of an important church community
- [Kirklevington](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/kirklevington/) - Evidence of the early medieval importance of this site comes from the large collection of 10th century carved stone crosses which are found here, amongst the most impressive in the entire north of England. Many show carved figures of people, one with birds on his shoulders, and which may depict local donors and patrons of
- [Kirkdale](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/kirkdale/) - An inscription on a mid-11th century sundial describes the rebuilding of the church at that time, stating that 'Orm son of Gamal bought St. Gregory's Minster when it was utterly ruined and collapsed and he had it rebuilt from the foundations to Christ and St. Gregory'. This indicates the previous existence of a monastery church
- [Kirkby Stephen](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/kirkby-stephen/) - A fragment of carved stone from the late 8th century is the earliest evidence for a church on this site, and its rich decorative pattern suggests this was a site of some importance. The name 'Kirkby' is the Danish for 'church settlement' indicating that there was a church here when the Vikings arrived in the
- [Jarrow](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/jarrow/) - This was one of the most important Christian sites in the early medieval north of England. It was part of a double monastery, the other site being at Monkwearmouth across the river, founded in c.681 by Benedict Biscop, and St Ceolfrid was its first abbot. There were originally two churches linked by a passageway, but
- [Irton](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/irton/) - The church at Irton was entirely rebuilt in the Victorian period, but in its churchyard is the 9th century Irton Cross. This is one of the only complete examples in the country of a free-standing, richly-decorated tall cross from this early period. The decoration is mostly of interlaced patterns. The cross may have been associated
- [Hovingham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/hovingham/) - The west tower of the present church dates from around the late 11th century, and is the building's earliest feature. Several fragments of older sculptured stone show that there was a much earlier Christian presence on the site, and perhaps an important and long-standing church. A large stone carved with images of saints dates to
- [Heysham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/heysham/) - Heysham was an important Christian site from the 8th century consisting of a church and nearby chapel (now ruined). The west doorway and much of the west wall of the church dates from the late 8th or early 9th century, as does a fragment of a highly-carved cross in the churchyard, and excavations have revealed
- [Hexham](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/hexham/) - The first church at Hexham was built in c.675 on the orders of St Wilfrid, Bishop of York, and was one of the most beautiful and richly-decorated churches in England. From 681 to 821 it was the cathedral of the Bishop of Hexham. The crypt of this early church survives under the current one, as
- [Hackness](https://faithinthenorth.org/church/hackness/) - The first church at Hackness was a monastery founded in 680 by St Hild, abbess of Whitby. Some grave covers from the late 7th century have been reused as building stone in the church. St Aethelburgh of Whitby was one of the early abbesses of Hackness and in the 11th century the church was said
