St Helen's Church, Escrick

However, in 1857, it was replaced by the current church, a stone structure in the Perpendicular style, designed by Francis Penrose.

A fire in 1923 destroyed the furnishings, but the church was quickly restored by John Bilson, and reopened to worship in 1925.

[2][3] The church has a five-bay nave with a north aisle, a two-bay chancel in the form of an apse, an eight-sided apse at the west end, containing a bapistery and chapel, over a crypt, and a tower to the north-east.

There is an early 14th century monument to a knight, possibly Roger de Lascelles, which is now damaged.

Among the wall monuments are one to Beilby Thompson, and one of about 1816 to Jane Lawley, carved by Bertel Thorvaldsen.
