The Vicar of Upper Wensleydale, in North Yorkshire, the Revd David Clark, has expressed disappointment at the “upsetting” reaction of villagers in Askrigg to the new rendering of the clock tower of St Oswald’s.
One described the work, unveiled last week, as “quite horrendous”.
The Grade I listed church featured in the TV series All Creatures Great and Small, where it is portrayed as the parish church of the fictional village of Darrowby. Its orientation in Upper Wensleydale exposes it to driving rain, which had penetrated the bell-chamber. Investigations suggested that lime pointing alone would not solve the problem.
