Oswaldkirk

Oswaldkirk is a small village and civil parish 4 miles (6.4 km) south of Helmsley and 20 miles (32 km) north of York in North Yorkshire, England. It is named after the village church of St Oswald, King and Martyr, the Anglo-Saxon King of Northumbria who was slain by the pagan, Penda in 642. There was previously the Catholic St Aidan's Church, Oswaldkirk, which closed in 2020. The population of the village as taken at the 2011 census was 230.

Geology
Oswaldkirk is situated to the south of a steep hill, known as "Oswaldkirk Hagg". Many springs rise along the base of the hill, at the boundary of the Kimmeridge Clay and the Corallian Oolite. The latter was mined into the twentieth century in numerous quarries on the hagg between Oswaldkirk and Ampleforth, and fossils from the limestone, especially gastropods, are often found in the village. ==History==
