Background

History

The present church is the third to be constructed on the site. It was built in 1877 by Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere House, and designed by the architect G. E. Street. It has not been changed since, and is "notable for being a complete survival of a Street design, without alteration and with fittings intact".

Architecture

All the original fittings and furniture have survived intact. In the chancel are a double sedilia and two piscinae, all with trefoil heads. The font has an octagonal bowl standing on a pedestal of clustered columns. Its cover is decorated with wrought ironwork.
