St James' Church, Dalton

Dalton has lain in the parish of St Peter and St Felix's Church, Kirkby Ravensworth, since the Medieval period.

A chapel of ease was first constructed in the village in 1846, at a cost of £298.

By the 1890s, a larger building was needed, and one was designed by W. S. Hicke, capable of seating 120 worshippers.

[1][2] The building is in the Decorated Gothic style, and is built of stone.

It has a combined nave and chancel, and there is a bellcote above the east end, housing a single bell.
