History
Also known as Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch, the church was built in 1851 to the designs of the architect A B Higham. It cost £2,200 (equivalent to £300,000 in 2023) and was consecrated on 31 October 1851 by the Bishop of Ripon, Rt. Revd. Charles Longley.
The church replaced the nearby village chapel of ease that was built in 1480. A monument over the north door with a Latin inscription commemorating Reverend Charles Udal (d. 1782), priest 1750 - 1781, predates the current building. Furniture inside the church is from the 1930s.
