History
Also known as Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch,[4] 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)[5] and was consecrated on 31 October 1851 by the Bishop of Ripon, Re. Revd. Charles Longley.[6]
The church replaced the nearby village chapel of ease that was built in 1480.[7] 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.[8]
