Heritage listing
All Saints' Church is the parish church of Wistow, a village north-west of Selby in North Yorkshire, in England. There has been a church on the site since at least the 12th century, but the oldest surviving parts of the current church are 13th century. It was altered in the 14th and 15th centuries, and then in the 16th century, the chancel was rebuilt and a tower was added. From 1883 to 1884, it was restored by James Demaine, who added a vestry and organ chamber, while the stained glass windows were restored by J. W. Knowles. In 1900, C. Hodgson Fowler installed a new floor, and in 1911 Walter Brierley repaired the reredos and panelling. The church was Grade I listed in 1966. The church is built of Magnesian Limestone, with a roof of tiles and Welsh slate.
