St Bartholomew's Church Arkendale

We are delighted to welcome the Bishop of Ripon to our Harvest celebrations to bless our restored Bishops Chair in memory of Hubert Houseman. Join us to celebrate our farming community at the end of Harvest with a very special service.

St Bartholomew's Church Arkendale

Welcome 

The church stands at the centre of this small attractive village on an important site, being the highest point in the village and the junction of the two village streets. A religious building has stood here since the 14th Century, although the present building dates only from 1836, but interestingly, it was the first church to be consecrated in the then new Diocese of Ripon, in January 1837. 

The Church is open daily 10am-5pm and everyone is welcome to visit - please do sign our visitors book.

Everyone is welcome to join us for our Services - Our Family Village Service on the first Sunday of the month and Holy Communion on the third Sunday of the month ; both Services start at 9.30am.
