St Eloy's Church, Great Smeaton

There was a church in Great Smeaton at the time of the Domesday Book, and the font is from this period.

The oldest part of the current building is the nave, dating from the 13th and 15th centuries.

[3] It is built in stone with a Welsh slate roof, and consists of a nave, a south aisle, a south porch, and a lower chancel with a north vestry.

At the west end is a bellcote with arcaded sides, and a tall pyramidal roof.

The porch is gabled and has an entrance with a pointed arch, a chamfered surround under a relieving arch, impost bands, stone coping, and a cross.
