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.

Enter, relax and enjoy the atmosphere of this unique place.  You are most welcome to join us for services and events.
