St Peter's Church, Staithes

A private house was constructed in 1802 for William Weatherill.

There was no Anglican church in the village, so in 1849, the school was licensed for worship.

In 1874 it became a mission church, dedicated to Saint Peter the fisherman.

An attached house was made available for clergy, but it remained served by the vicar of St Hilda's Church, Hinderwell.

Monthly church services continue to take place in the upper room.
