[2] The church was rebuilt on a site near Skelton Castle in 1785 by John Hall-Stevenson.

It replaced an older church on the same site that had been built by the Fauconberg family in the 14th century.

Its plan consists of a three-bay nave with a north transept and north-west vestry, a chancel, and a west tower.

There is a panelled west gallery carried on four thin fluted wooden columns containing raked seating.

Also on the chancel walls and arch are painted boards containing the Ten Commandments and biblical texts.
