'The church of St. Oswald, Dean ... has undergone nothing in the way of modern restoration.... The outstanding feature of the exterior is its ... double bell-turret... over the chancel arch'. The lower parts of the walls, and the south doorway are of the thirteenth century. None of the original windows remain, having been replaced during the fourteenth century and by later alterations. The buttresses at the north west of the church and the chancel roof were erected during the 14th century restoration. Further alterations were made in the sixteenth century.(2)
