No church is mentioned in the Domesday book, although it may be identified with one of three churches attached to the Manor of Ridlington, north of Ayston. It was granted to the Abbey of Westminster in the eleventh century. The church itself dates from the fourteenth century onwards and consists of a western tower, nave with north and south aisles and clerestory, chancel and north chapel, organ chamber and vestry, and north and south porches. The tower is of three stages with angle buttresses and has a tall recessed spire with three tiers of lucarnes. There are eight bells. The nave is of four bays (lengthened by one Bay in the 1861 restoration). The north aisle is from the Decorated period, the south aisle is Perpendicular. There are remnants of wall decoration on the south arcade consisting of red flowers and tendrils. The chancel was rebuilt in 1861 when it was restored by Parsons of London incorporating black marble columns to the north chapel (Lady Chapel) and organ chamber. During the reconstruction some sculptured fragments of the twelfth century were found, two of which are now built the wall on either side of the north door. A Coffin lid of the thirteenth century was also found. There is a plain mediaeval octagonal font at the west end of the nave and a two manual organ by Harrison and Harrison. The church is surrounded on the north side by the buildings of the marketplace. Pic by Jenny.
