Sadly, our lovely church is in need of major structural repairs. The good news is that we have been offered a £50,000 English Heritage Grant. The bad news is that we have to raise a further £50,000.

We had many fund raising events in 2003 & 2004, many more this year

From 16th -18th June, 2006 we plan a 'gathering of the clan' of the Fothergill Family who have had association with the parish since long before St Oswald's was built.

St.Oswald's Ravenstonedale is part of a United Benefice with St. James' Tebay and All Saints Orton.

  Those wishing to trace their ancestry may be interested in the index of gravestones in the church grounds. The index draws on a manuscript survey completed in 1994 by Mrs. C Bunney (1910-1995) of Hwith, Ravenstonedale.
