About Us

St Giles Church, Skelton, is one of England's 1000 best churches (Simon Jenkins).
Building started in 1247, reputedly by masons also building York Minster.
The church is open for services at 09:30 on Sundays and from 10:00 to 16:00 every day for personal prayer and reflection.
A guide to the church is available. We are part of benefice of three churches.

The congregation for ordinary services is usually about 17.
We use the "Common Worship" order of service, with hymns from "Mission Praise" and Hymns Ancient and Modern.  Every month we have an informal All Age service (the 4th Sunday of the month).
Please come and join us.
Since the new and easier rules from the Church of England regarding weddings in church came into effect, we are receiving requests to be married at our church from far afield. We are very keen to invite couples to come and see us at St. Giles and discover how we can help with their wedding plans.  For wedding enquiries please contact one of the churchwardens on 01904 470674 or 01904 470125
