Description of Archaeology and History
It was built, apparently, on the site of an earlier church, by J.B. and W. Atkinson of York c. 1868. The tower originally had an additional sotrey with a pyramidal roof, but this was found to be unsafe in c.1911 and was therefore removed. It was considered necessary to underpin the fabric as early as 1900, but the church has continued to move southwards down the steep slope of the hall on which 16 18 built and there are large aracke in the masonry. The church contains three bells, 11 of 1869. The furnishings are without specii distinotion individually, but have a certain period chara within the context of the building - they are all of a piece, contemporary with the church, and largely unaltered. The only item of particular merit de the chamber organ, in a delightful classical case by Henry Bevingtol 1813, restored by Noel Mander in 1958.
The church was demolished in the 1970s.
