Most of the stained glass dates from that time, as does the pulpit, with its two carved scenes showing the parable of the Good Samaritan and St. Peter healing the man at the Beautiful Gate.

This money was needed for a complete re-ordering of the West end of the church to provide additional facilities, for extra space to accommodate larger numbers of people, and to display some significant historical features of the building more appropriately; this first phase of the work has been completed.

During the 1890 renovation, a message detailing the work was sealed in a glass bottle, along with a newspaper of the time, and buried underneath the plinth of the medieval Sotheby Cross.

[3] In 1733, the celebrated Flying Man of Pocklington, Thomas Pelling, attempted to travel along a rope between the church and the Star Inn in the Market Square.

The most famous branch of the Sotheby family moved to Bishop Wilton and then to Hackney, London, and Sewardstone in Essex.

The Benefice of Pocklington Wold also includes the churches at Burnby, Great Givendale, Hayton, Huggate, Millington, and Nunburnholme.
