Abstract
A deconsecrated medieval church, dedicated to St Oswald, sits isolated beside a possible crossing of the Rive Ouse, downstream from York. It was the site of an early well and evidence includes a fragment of the pre-Conquest cross and a possible early timber church identified through excavation in the 1980s. This paper pulls together these various disparate pieces of evidence, including patterns of landownership, a possible association with the cult of St Oswald, and looks at the wider context and significance of this former church.
