us at any time at either!

1. St Mary’s Church Selby
The present St Mary's and St Germain (1856) was designed by Dunn and
Hansom of London and is built in the early decorated Gothic style.
Notable features include the East Window consisting of five lights. The
centre one is of Our Lady, the principal patron of the church, and St
Germain and St Lawrence are on one side with St William of York and
St Edward the Confessor on the other. The arms of the Petre Family
appear in the side windows.
2. St Mary’s Church Carlton
The church, presbytery and a school opened on the 31st August 1842.
In 1876 a small convent behind the church was established for the
nunsof the Order of the Sisters of Mercy. A walled footpath called
Convent Walk, known locally as Nun's Trod, linked the three buildings.
The church is built in the Gothic style, with white brick and stone
dressings. The stained glass window above the altar is in three
sections, with the Blessed Virigin Mary in the centre, flanked by St
Augustine and St Gregory.
3. Selby Foodbank Project
A venture supported by Churches Together in Selby, the Foodbank's
operation depends on it receiving sufficient donations to make up food
boxes for a family's basic needs for up to 72 hours.
Gifts are welcomed from the list here. For safety/storage reasons
food should be within its recommended 'consume by' or 'sell by' date
and containers undamaged.
Can you spare an item or two from your shopping on a regular basis?
