St Mary’s is a characterful ruin nestled among trees overlooking Nidderdale. The church was built in the 13th century. There are some great views around the church.

St. Mary’s Church, now in ruins, was the parish church of Pateley Bridge until 1827. The church began to fall into decay at the start of the 19th century and it was closed in 1826 when it became too small for the congregation, too expensive to repair and too inconvenient to reach.
