Welcome to Rylstone

Rylstone is a small village located in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. The village is situated on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales National Park and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. Rylstone is known for its picturesque scenery, historic buildings, and friendly community.

One of the most notable landmarks in Rylstone is the St. Peter's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church is a Grade II listed building and features a Norman doorway, a 14th-century font, and a 15th-century rood screen. The church is still in use today and holds regular services and events throughout the year.

Rylstone is also home to the Rylstone Cross, a monument that was erected in 1921 to commemorate the men from the village who lost their lives in World War I. The cross is located on a hill overlooking the village and offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The Rylstone and District Women's Institute gained national attention in 1999 when they posed nude for a calendar to raise money for the local hospital. The story was later turned into a movie called "Calendar Girls" starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters.
