St Mary the Virgin

Welcome to this historic building with its spectacular stained glass window of the Nativity.  This church was originally the 'Slipper Chapel' (or Gate Chapel) at the entrance to Rievaulx Abbey.  It was rebuilt as a village church by architect Temple Moore in 1906-7, who added a chancel and a small steeple.  

For more historical details about the church, click on the Facilities tab on the menu on the left of this page.

Enter, relax and soak up the atmosphere, remembering the many pilgrims who have passed this way over the centuries and those who continue to value this special place.  You are most welcome to join us at any of our services and events.
