Churches in North Yorkshire

Church life in North Yorkshire

North Yorkshire's church heritage is hard to match: York Minster, the largest Gothic cathedral in northern Europe, Ripon Cathedral with its Saxon crypt, and the dramatic clifftop ruins of Whitby Abbey, where the Synod of Whitby shaped the course of English Christianity in 664. Dales villages and market towns add hundreds of living parish churches.

Whether you are in Northallerton or a village on the far side of the county, a church community is rarely far away. Our listings are drawn from public records, church websites and submissions from congregations themselves, and we are working towards a complete picture of Christian worship in every corner of North Yorkshire.
