A landmark Church of England building on Wakefield Road, built in 1842 (architects R H & S Sharpe of York) and Grade II listed (list entry 1314137). According to the listing, it was built at the expense of the Bowling Iron Company and with extensive use of iron in the structure, although the exterior walls are of a more traditional sandstone.

The churchyard was closed for burials in 1892 and in the later 20th century parts of it were used for the construction of the church hall, car park and part of the adjacent roundabout, but burials were not exhumed (as far as I can tell from public records).
