Dedicated to the Archangel Michael, the church at Bempton is the focal point of the community, situated as it is in the centre of the village. It was the Bridlington Priory Clergy who helped the inhabitants build a chapel for their own use. It was raised on the site of an earlier church founded by a Saxon Lord of the Manor. The aisle-less church was enlarged, dedicated and licensed for the worship with the spiritual responsibility belonging to the Prior and convents of Bridlington. All this took place in the twelfth century, though the precise date is uncertain, it was probably around the year 1200.
