Bishop Wilton is a small village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, approximately 4 miles North of Pocklington and 6 miles East of Stamford Bridge.

Just North of the village lies Bishop Wilton Wold, more commonly referred to as Garrowby Hill, at 246 metres above sea level, it is the highest point on the Yorkshire Wolds.

The population of Bishop Wilton is around 500, with about 200 households. The village has a local shop, a small primary school and a pub/inn - the highly reputable Fleece Inn. Around the village there are numerous walks on the wolds; the village is very popular with walkers.

Bishop Wilton Church -
St Edith's is tucked away between the houses of the village and upon first sight it looks as if it is unlikely to deliver much of interest. Once inside the porch it is obvious there is plenty to see.

The wonderful Romanesque door arch has a variety of carvings including an early style green man or foliage spewer. The chancel arch is similar though not as heavily decorated.

The male exhibitionist, now damaged, looks down into the baptistry and is joined by several other figures on high throughout the church.

There are several wooden green man carvings, one on the north transept screen and the others on the pew backs.
