St Denys is a church in Walmgate, York, Yorkshire and was built on the site of a Saxon church and possibly a Roman temple (records first date from c.1154). Inside some of the earliest stained glass in York can be found. The sculpted Norman doorway and 15th century heraldic roof are also noteworthy within the building. The figure of St Denys can be seen in the 15th century east window - it is amongst fewer than 40 English churches which are dedicated to this French saint.[1] The church is now a Grade I listed building.
