St Crux Church, York

St Crux is a parish hall in York, in England, which incorporates the remains of a Mediaeval church.

The church was rebuilt between 1402 and 1424, incorporating a Saxon carved stone into the north wall.

Fisher and Hepper drew up plans in 1884 to restore the church, but it was instead demolished three years later, over the objections of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.

Despite the poor condition of the tower, it proved sturdy enough that it had to be dynamited.The Press has described it as "perhaps the most famous" lost church of York.

[1][3] In 1888, a parish hall was built on the site of St Crux, reusing materials from the church, including much of its north wall, and the Perpendicular east window.
