The dedication of the church to St Oswald seems to be comparatively recent. In wills of the rnid-sixteenth century the church is referred to as All Saints. In 1834 it is described as St James's, but by 1877 it is called St Oswald's.
A plan of the church, giving dates of the various parts of the building, hangs on the north wall of the nave.
The Western part of the north wall of the Chancel may be a survival from the twelfth century Church. The chapel now used as the Vestry was added in the thirteenth century. In the fifteenth Century the whole Church, with the exception of this chapel, was rebuilt and the South porch and west tower were added. Major restoration was carried out in the 1890s.

St Oswald’s, Little Horton, was completed in 1902. The site for the church was given by Sir Francis Sharpe Powell of Horton Hall, and the costs of building were met by Mrs F. M. Jones-Balme and his wife in memory of her husband Mr Edward Balme Wheatley-Balme.
It is a grade 2 listed building. The listing reads: –
“1890-1902 architects F. H. and F. Healy. Sandstone ‘brick’ church with ashlar dressings, C14 details. Tall nave, aisles, transepts, shallow chancel. Triple gabled east and west ends. North-east tower adjoining transept. Aisle windows of 3 mullioned flat arched lights have rather a domestic character. Main east and west windows have good curvilinear tracery. Gabled north-east porch. Lofty tower with shallow buttresses to bell stage and octagonal turret. Broached spire with lucarnes. The spire makes an important contribution to the townscape.”
In the 1970s the congregation numbered up to 60 communicants on Sundays, but with the smaller congregations of the new millennium, not all the nave and aisles were needed for worship, even for the largest weddings. The long-held vision for a new centre within the church building became a reality under architect Ronald Sims RIBA, and following completion in April it was opened by the Bishop of Bradford, Rt. Rev. David James on 4th August 2005.

St Oswald's Church is a Church of England parish church located in Ashbourne, in the county of Derbyshire, England.
The church is named after Oswald of Northumbria. A brass plaque in the chapel on the south side of the church commemorates its dedication on 24 April 1241 by Hugh de Pateshull, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
Architecturally, it dominates the small town with its 212-foot spire which was referred to by George Eliot as the "finest single spire in England". It is said to have been started in 1240 by Bishop Hugh de Pateshull. Construction probably lasted until the early 14th century. It replaced an earlier Saxon church, and possibly a second Norman one. (A Norman crypt was discovered during excavations in 1913.)
From 1837 to 1840, it was restored by Lewis Nockalls Cottingham, and then in the 1870s by George Gilbert Scott, who added the battlements to the chancel.
Until Ashbourne Hall was partially demolished, it and St Oswald's were the town's major monuments, standing at either end of the main street. The entrance to the hall's grounds continued the main street through high gates. What remains of the hall houses the local lending library and some unrelated offices. As they were before the 18th century when the Boothby's rebuilt and refurbished their home, St Oswald's and its tower are once again the major landmark, and the church is the town's main attraction. The church is a Grade I listed building.
He used to only have a couple of little black dots on his nose, now it's covered! The vet says this is a common thing with orange cats.
Ein wunderbarer Rokokoaltar von 1750, der alle "Bilderstürmerei" überstanden hat. Bemerkenswerte Heiligenfiguren. Ausrangiert an eine Seitenwand gehängt...
I met Oswald when in the UK recently. He saw me taking shots on the market and came over to chat. His wonderful Caribbean accent fascinated me. He, like myself had also lived in Southampton in the 70's and 80's so we had a great chat about what it was like then. At the end he graciously allowed me to take a couple of pictures of him. A wonderful meeting.
A revered pilot and leader, Boelcke died in a mid air collision with his best friend on October 28, 1916.The Mulzer and Boelcke portraits were taken in the summer of 1916 at the same place and probably the same day. Neither man had six months to live.
St Oswald's is the Parish Church of Collingham with Harewood.
Although much altered in 1840-1, the church building is thought to be Saxon, with much of the stonework of the nave and chancel pre-dating the Norman Conquest of 1066. The church is dedicated to St Oswald, an Anglo-Saxon saint. There are substantial fragments of two Anglo-Saxon crosses - the Apostle's Cross, dated between the 8th and 10th Centuries, and a second Runic Cross decorated with intertwined dragons, thought to date from circa 900AD. The tower is thought to have been erected in the 16th Century and the current clock was installed in 1891.

Sorry for being so extremely slow in commenting... uploads seem to work, but as soon as I want to view your photos to comment I get booted off the internet and have to reconnect, just to get disconnected again as soon as I click on my "contacts" page. It's frustrating to say the least.
Hope you had a GREAT weekend! HAVE A FANTASTIC WEEK!!!
German postcard. Film-Sterne, No. 536/7. Richard-Oswald-Film. Card for the German silent film Das Dreimäderlhaus (The House of Three Girls, Richard Oswald, Richard-Oswald-Film 1918), considered a lost film and dealing with the life of composer Franz Schubert (Julius Spielmann). The three sisters from the title, presented here, are played by Sybille Binder, Käthe Oswald, and Ruth Werner.
Das Dreimäderlhaus was based on a homonymous operetta, first performed in 1916 and using Schubert's music, while successful operetta adaptations were made as Chanson d'amour (1921), Blossom Time (1921) and Lilac Time (1922). The story deals with the love affairs of the three daughters of court glassmaker Christian Tschöll (Wilhelm Diegelmann) with Schubert and his two friends. Under the lilac tree Tschöll agrees to the marriage of his three daughters with the three young men, but while Schubert's friends marry, a misunderstanding prevents marriage between Schubert and Hannerl (Sybille Binder). She marries baron Schober (Conrad Veidt), against whose maneuvers his girlfriend Grisi (Anita Berber) warns. Hannerl instead thinks Grisi warns against Schubert, so she marries Schober instead, and Schubert is left alone.
St Oswald's Church is in the village of Grasmere, in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Windermere, the archdeaconry of Westmorland and Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building. It is notable for its associations with the poet, William Wordsworth and his family, and for its annual ceremony of rushbearing,
The first church in Grasmere was founded by Oswald of Northumbria, King of Northumbria, in 642. The present church stands on or near the same site, and is dedicated to him. It dates from the 14th century,and was doubled in size by the addition of a parallel nave to the north of the original nave between 1490 and 1500. The roof was rebuilt in about 1562, which involved adding a second tier of arches to the arcade. The windows and doors were restored in 1840 by George Webster.
St Oswald's is constructed in roughcast stone with slate roofs. Its plan consists of a double nave, with a south porch and a southeast tower. The tower is battered (its walls incline inwards as the tower rises), it has lancet windows, and plain corner pinnacles.
Inside the church, the arcade has five arches rising from ground level, and four arches above. The arcade does not reach the ridge of the roof, but ends in the upper tie beams of the open timber roof. In the church is a poor box dated 1648, and a balustered altar rail of 1725. The pulpit is in Arts and Craft style, and carved with fruits and flowers. The font is medieval, and consists of an octagonal bowl on a stepped base. The stained glass includes a window on the north side of the church from about 1926 by Shrigley and Hunt, and two windows on the south side from the 1890s by Henry Holiday. There is medieval glass in windows on the south side of the chancel. The monuments include one to William Wordsworth by Thomas Woolner, with an epitaph by John Keble. There is also a wall tablet in the chancel in Doric style to the antiquary Daniel Fleming who died in 1701.
The church has a sculpture of the Madonna and child by Ophelia Gordon Bell, who lived and worked in Grasmere.
In the southeast corner of the churchyard is a group of twelve graves surrounded by railings. These are the graves of members of the Wordsworth and Quillinan families, and are listed at Grade II*.
