Created on 1/24/2018 4:29:00 PM PRN 540 Page 3 of 506 West Yorkshire Archaeology Advisory Service Historic Environment Record Full Report Drift Geology Architect Description St Ricarius¶Church, Aberford consists of a four-bay aisled nave with a west tower and south porch, and a two-bay chancel with south aisle and north organ chamber/vestry; the latter extends the full length of the chancel. With the exception of the tower the entire building is of 1861, by the architect Anthony Salvin. The church has an irregular shaped churchyard (Ryder, 1988). The tower is square and divided into three approximately equal stages by square-section string- courses with slight set-backs; a chamfered plinth only being exposed on the south side (Ryder, 1988, p. 1). The fabric of the tower is Magnesian limestone, in contrast to the 1861 body of the church which is of grey grit. The embattled parapet of the tower is a late medieval addition and the octagonal spire is probably also late medieval work, although it may have been rebuilt in the early 19th century (Ryder, 1993, p. 135). The body of the church is of 1861 and Ryder believes this replaces an 11th or early 12th century building, which had much herringbone work. The rebuilding of the church in 1861 revealed herringbone masonry similar to that seen at Kippax (PRN 946) and Barwick-in-Elmet (PRN 848). A small 12th-century window and a 13th-century lancet have been reset in the sanctuary walls. A set of four photographs hanging in the entrance vestibule provide some information on the pre-1861 building. The nave had no south aisle, the lower chancel had a pointed priest¶s door on the south with a lancet to the west and a 15th century three-light window to its east, and there was a large 12th century chancel arch (Ryder, 1988). At the west end of the south aisle, in what is now the entrance vestibule, are two fragments of Pre- Conquest cross shafts and one of a cross head (PRN 7303, 7304 and 7305) which may suggest a much earlier church on or near the site. There are also a few wall tablets within the church; on the east wall of the north chapel is one dated 1805 and one on the north wall dated 1824. One the east wall of the south chapel are several early 19th century tablets (Ryder, 1988). The churchyard is now irregular in plan but may originally have been rectangular with the church more or less centrally placed, with a triangular extension to the southwest. Virtually all the monuments are 19th and 20th century. Set against the west wall near the church are a few 18th century headstones and one medieval stone coffin (Ryder, 1988). The church is the only one in Britiain dedicated to St. Ricarius, St. Richardius or St. Riquier - the church was once known as St. Richard's Church. The saint came from Picardy and was converted by Irish missionaries in the 7th century (Gilleghan, 2001).
