This church was built in 1853 in the early English gothic style. It was built mainly for mill workers and the poor of the parish: at that time, there were six cotton spinning mills in Eastby and Embsay around here.

Inside, spot the memorial stained-glass window, to Reverend Henry Cooper (by Baptiste Capronnier), which is rather striking. Cooper was the church's first incumbent, and died in 1860.
