A church in the village was first recorded in the 14th century. It was demolished in 1836 and rebuilt at a cost of £500,[1] to a design by John Freeman.[2] It was consecrated in January 1837, the first new church in the recently created Diocese of Ripon.[1] The church is in the Early English style and is built of white brick. It has a square stone tower which projects at the west end and has battlements. The church originally seated 210 worshippers.[3] The Victorian church clock was restored in 2023.[1]
Nikolaus Pevsner describes the church as "uncommonly unattractive". It is not a listed building.[2]
