The little
Village of Skerne sits quietly amongst the deep Yorkshire
countryside watching the world go by. It is a small community with
most of the original cottages having been restored to their former
glory and many new properties that have been built with the
traditional feel of the Village in mind.
The Church too
has a deep rural setting being accessible either through a farm
yard or via a country lane off the road to Wansford! St Leonard’s
has many Norman features in its nave and chancel, which is when
the majority of the church was built. However the entrance porch
on the south side and the bell tower were probably added in the
15th Century. It has a decorated east window and a perpendicular
tower.
All the shops that were once open in the village
have now closed and the School, which was built in 1877, is now a
private dwelling.
