SUMMARY:All Saints Parish Church\, Pontefract open Day and Double Helix Staircase Tower Tours
DESCRIPTION:Church Open Day to see our wonderful and Ancient Parish Church \nAll Day Tours of our Double Helix Tower Staircase – Just turn up and join the next tour. This staircase has two sets of steps that spiral upwards in the same space and there is only one other in the U.K. and one or two in Europe. You will climb the narrow stairs from inside the Church and see the Ringing Chamber\, then return down the other set of steps\, emerging outside the current building.\nDisplay of Hand Painted Silk Vestments. These were made some years ago for All Saints Church and you will be able to see both the Vestments and some of the drawings and drafts of the Designs.\nSee the Communion Table and Pavement Candles\, etc. which were also designed specifically for the Church and reflect the architecture of the church and the Spiral Staircase.\nHear our Bells being rung and see how the Bells are rung.\nLight Refreshments all day. \nThis free event is part of Heritage Open Day \nAccessibility details\nAccess to the church is via a ramp so wheelchair and smaller ‘Buggies’ can enter\, but the Tower and Staircase are not accessible. For the Tower Tour you need to be wearing sensible shoes / boots and be reasonably fit as the space is small with a low roof in places and the steps are worn and uneven. If we can we will have a looped video of the Tour for those who don’t wish to go up the tower.
