Church 50 Metres North East Of Croxdale Hall

The church, located 50 metres north-east of Croxdale Hall, largely dates to the late 11th and early 12th centuries, with a chancel added in the late 12th and early 13th centuries. This was altered in the 14th and 15th centuries, and largely rebuilt with early 19th century windows. The building is constructed of squared sandstone rubble in narrow courses, with a pantiled nave roof and a felted chancel roof. It consists of an aisleless nave and chancel.

The Norman south doorway likely retains its original door and iron hinges, in the form of a central cross with a strap below and a large C-hinge with a strap above. The doorway features alternating jambs and long, thin impost blocks with worn, possibly dogtooth, moulding. A badly-worn semicircular tympanum, thought to contain a relief carving of the Tree of Life, is set within a round arch composed of two square-cut orders. Two large 19th-century south windows have 4-centred heads; the western window is blocked but retains its rear arch, while the eastern window has a fixed 12-pane light. A restored lancet is present in the west end, with a blocked pointed window above. A probably 16th-century blocked, round-arched north doorway has a thin chamfered arris, with a blocked window above the door; a 19th-century window and a tall, probably 13th-century, lancet are on the east side. The steeply-pitched nave roof has stone-coped gables. A rebuilt gabled west bellcote has twin pointed bell openings and small pinnacles flanking the gable. The lower, narrower two-bay chancel has a 19th-century window on the south side, a pointed three-light east window with curvilinear tracery under a hoodmould, and an old brick lateral stack on the north side. A low-pitched roof is concealed behind a low parapet with chamfered coping.

The interior is plain and plastered and contains no furnishings. The nave has two circular stone fonts lying to one side; a small, roughly-arched opening, possibly a stoup, is in the north wall; box-pews are reused as dado; and renewed roof trusses are present. The late 12th-century semicircular chancel arch, of two chamfered orders with a hoodmould to the nave, has an inner order on keeled responds with moulded bases and capitals. The chancel contains a square chamfered opening, possibly an aumbry, in the south wall, and a probably 15th-century oak roof with three heavy, adzed, and cambered tie beams, a ridge piece, and purlins. It was derelict at the time of survey and is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
