Aughton, East Riding of Yorkshire

All Saints Church, Aughton is located at the far end of the village and overlooks vast expanses of the floodplains of the River Derwent.Tucked away in the village, it can only be accessed on foot through a small gate and field adjacent to Aughton Hall.An historic church, famous for its association with Robert Aske, leader of the insurgents in the Pilgrimage of Grace, October 1536.[3] The church displays a mixture of architectural designs as it has been altered throughout the years, but is noted especially for its Norman arch between the chancel and nave.Standing in the churchyard and looking up at the tower, (which was rebuilt by Christopher Aske sometime after 1536), a shield with six quarterings can be seen engraved on the outside wall, now badly weathered but it offers the following inscription in old French text: "Christofer le second filz de Robert Ask chr oblier ne doy, Ao Di 1536."
