Hauxwell -
St Oswald (also called East Hauxwell) |
 |
| The church is reached down a
'white road' leading to Hauxwell Hall; at the
cross roads, this road points approximately north-west
and looks like a private road. It is,
however, a public road and the church is soon
reached on the left. Church usually open. There
is a small car park right outside the church

| Above: Knight and lady,
early 14th century; also immediate right. I'Anson's
drawing is to the left. Right: A well preserved slab with cross and sword; and a poorly preserved one - a sword can be made out but little else. |
| The two effigies above were
probably ejected from the church in the seventeenth century and
left in the grave yard. However in 1861 the Misses Gale (see
tablet below) persuaded then then Rector, a Mr Topham, brought
them back into the church. They were place in their present
position at the west end of the nave during restorations in
1962-63. The de Barden family of Hauxwell were involved in a long running dispute with Easby Abbey over the ownership of moorland in Barden. Sir Robert de Barden resolved this dispute by giving up the Barden claim to this laid on the condition that the Abbot of Easby with his three immediate predecessors (these abbots all appear to have taken early retirement!) should some to Hauxwell church and give absolution over the tombs of his father, mother and grandfather. It is thought that this refers to two of the effigies now back in the church: Sir Walter's father, Sir Walter (1350) and that of his mother. |
