The Church of St Francis, Low Marishes, is Daughter Church of Pickering. The church was built as a chapel of ease for the scattered farms and communities that populate Low and High Marishes. The church was built in 1861 (though the porch would seem to be a later addition). The church is made of red brick with blue brick and ashlar dressings and is well executed. Its architect is unknown though the competence of its design suggests the work of a major architect.
