Pickering's parish church is famous for its stunning medieval wall paintings. Painted originally about 1450 but covered over at the Reformation, these were rediscovered in 1852, but then painted over again! They were finally restored and today their vibrant images thrill visitors with how medieval churches once looked.

There has been a place of worship in Goathland, on the North Yorkshire Moors, for at least eight centuries.
The present building, which was completed in 1896, was designed by Mr Walter H Brierly of York who said of his creation: ‘The qualities of simplicity, breadth and sturdiness were felt to be especially required for such a bleak moorland situation, and were aimed at in the design'.
St Martin's church was completed in 1863 and was designed by George Bodley. The beauty of the church is famous in the area and features excellent examples of preRaphaelite stained glass.
The church of St Mary dates from 1150. It is believed to have been built by the masons that were employed by the castle and whether this is true or not what is certain is that it is the place where they would have worshiped.
