Features of Interest
St James Church in Warter, standing on the site of an Augustinian Priory, was built in 1862-63 for Lord Muncaster. It is a prominent feature in the landscape of this picturesque Wolds estate village. The superb Edwardian Arts and Crafts monuments by Sir George Frampton and Gilbert Bayes, and stained glass by R Anning Bell, that commemorate the family of the first Lord Nunburnholme are of national importance. Now redundant, the church is a heritage centre for the Yorkshire Wolds.
