St Hilda's Church, Ampleforth

The church was first built in mid 12th century, although only the tower arch and reset north doorway survive from this period.

In 1868, T. H. and F. Healey undertook a heavy restoration of the church, adding a north aisle, replacing the east window, and refacing the walls.

It consists of a west tower, a four-bay nave, and a two-bay chancel.

The north door has rough carvings, some of which depict the signs of the zodiac.

Inside, there is a 12th-century font, a 14th-century effigy of a man and woman, and a tomb slab of similar date.
