Overview
Grid reference: NZ 104 5
Located 5 miles from Richmond. A squat medieval building consisting of a nave, north nave aisle with a north aisle extension to the east, bringing it flush with the east wall of the chancel. The early visible fabric dates to the 12th century, for example the south doorway and blocked north doorway of contemporary date. Though the recently revised Buildings of England volume for Yorkshire: The North Riding, states the interest of the church lies in the restoration of 1683. Clear evidence of the 1683 restoration begins in the churchyard where you can see on the south elevation of the nave "two south windows with the oddest interpretation of Early English tracery and even some dogtooth". The westerly most of the pair reads 'John Hutton, squir'. The other is simply dated '1683'. Box pews and the Hutton family pew are potentially early 19th century work. The west gallery erected in 2000 was designed by architect Neil Birdsall in a style to be in keeping with the present character. On the underside of the gallery, directly above the font (font dated 1663) is a roundel with the palindromic inscription in Greek attributed to St Gregory of Nazianzus - 'Wash your sins, not only your face'. Birdsall also design a cover for the medieval font at St Peter's church, Walpole in Norfolk which has the same text around the lip of the lid.
