St Helen's is the only Anglican Church in Thurnscoe. We are a  faithful group of Christians, committed to serving our local community. Our Rector is Revd Sarah Maughan who was licensed in Oct 2022.

A Grade II listed building, St Helens Church is historically significant, being the oldest building in Thurnscoe.  It  was originally built by the Saxons in 812, and was then rebuilt by the Normans in 1087.  The outside Tower was constructed in 1789 but the inside was built in 1329.  The font is made of solid oak, and there are only two of this kind in the world - the other is in London.  All interior fixed furnishings are made from solid oak, with the exception of the doors, which are made of elm.  The beautiful stained glass are relatively modern, as the old ones were ruined.  Most of the historical records of Thurnscoe were destroyed in the Fire of York in 1843.
