History

Also known as Church of Saint Margaret of Antioch,[1] the church was built in 1851 to the designs of the architect A B Higham. It cost £2,200 (equivalent to £260,000 in 2021)[4] and was consecrated on 31 October 1851 by the Bishop of Ripon, Rt. Revd. Charles Longley.[5]

Interior of St. Margaret's

The church replaced the nearby village chapel of ease that was built in 1480.[6] A monument over the north door with a Latin inscription commemorating Reverend Charles Udal, (d. 1782), priest 1750 - 1781 predates the current building. Furniture inside the church is from the 1930s.[1]
