A BRIEF HISTORY OF ST THOMAS CHURCH SELSIDE

​

A chapel was built in 1709 in the burial ground, overlooking Selside Hall, which itself dates from the late 15th century. This was replaced by the present building in 1838.

​

The church was further extended with the addition of a tower in 1894.

 

There is a fine East Window [1912] depicting Christ the Good Shepherd in scenery echoing the eastward view of the Howgills from the churchyard outside.
