All Saints' Helmsley

Welcome to the Anglican parish church of All Saints', a Grade II* listed building, which is situated in the heart of our beautiful market town in Ryedale, North Yorkshire. We have regular services here on a Sunday and a variety of other services and events on other days of the week. Keep an eye on our Services and Events page for up-to-date information.

As the lychgate entrance to the churchyard has a series of steps, some may find the step-free access from the Market Place, via the gate and path by the Black Swan Hotel, more convenient. The north gate of the churchyard (next to Canon's Garth) for access from the Feversham Arms Hotel direction, is also step-free.

We look forward to welcoming you to an event or service soon!

St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to this historic building with its spectacular stained glass window of the Nativity. This church was originally the 'Slipper Chapel' (or Gate Chapel) at the entrance to Rievaulx Abbey. It was rebuilt as a village church by architect Temple Moore in 1906-7, who added a chancel and a small steeple.

St Chad

Welcome to this little church, allegedly the smallest in North Yorkshire having only 9 pews. Originally built in the 1640s as the chapel of West Newton Grange, it stood a mile or so away from the present site and by the mid-19th century was used as a barn. In 1879 it was moved and rebuilt, stone by stone, to provide the people of Sproxton with a church. The architects, George Gilbert Scott Jnr and Temple Moore, kept the 17th century feel with its unusual square shape.
