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.
