Early English and Decorated with Perpendicular tower arch. Re-used C12 and C13 material from original parish church which was demolished and rebuilt in 1862 by Edward Browning. Contains a monument to John Barton (d.1491) a rich wool merchant who founded the church. He built the tomb in his lifetime featuring him and his wife Isabella, with a cadaver "memento mori" below. 'Miseremeni mei saltem vos amici mei quia manus domini tetigit me' ('Pity me you at least my friends for the hand of the Lord has touched me'). The room over the porch is at the centre of the local legend of ‘Nan Scott’s Chamber’. It is said that Nan Scott left her house in Holme during the great plague of 1666 to live in this room away from infection for several weeks. When forced to visit her house for supplies she found the parish deserted except for herself and one other, and was so horrified she returned to the chamber and ended her days there. Pic by Jenny

"Friendly and helpful staff. Great location. Comfortable room."

Eastwood Hall

10/10 Excellent

"I always say that when I am going for a short visit to meet family & friends over Christmas, I only need a hotel to provide me with a nice clean, comfortable room, a good sleep, a hot shower & a good breakfast to set me up for the day. Eastwood Hall provided all of these in abundance! Everything from parking up to finding reception, signing in and getting about was spot on. The staff were all friendly, helpful and polite & what else can I say! It went beyond what I expect for my stay so thankyou Eastwood Hall 🙏 Definitely worth the 4⭐⭐⭐⭐ "
