Description

Holy Evangelists Church is a church built between 1848 and 1849 by G T Andrews for the Hon Payan Dawnay of Beningbrough Hall. It is constructed of coursed stone with ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof. The church is designed in the Early English style and includes an aisled nave, a north-west tower, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry.

The tower has four stages and a north-west vice, with offset angle buttresses and trefoil-headed windows that have hoodmoulds. The belfry windows are adorned with colonettes, and the tower is topped with a broach spire that includes lucarnes and small quatrefoils. The nave consists of four bays, and the porch features fleur-de-lis-finialled buttresses, roll-moulding, and a hood-mould over the doorway. Inside, there is an inner pointed-arch doorway with colonettes and a nail-studded board door that has decorative ironwork.

The south aisle has a chamfered plinth, offset buttresses, and quoined surrounds to one- and two-light windows. The clerestory features quatrefoils, while the west end has two single-light windows beneath a cinquefoil in a raised surround. The chancel has three bays, with a lower and narrower central priest's door and three two-light windows topped with quatrefoils. The pointed-arch east window contains paired trefoil-headed lights, each with a trefoil above and a cinquefoil over the whole. The church also has eaves bands, copings, and fleur-de-lis finials.

Inside, the nave arcade consists of double-chamfered pointed arches supported by octagonal columns. The church features a carved, painted reredos and a fretted, panelled choir screen with decorative iron gates designed by Temple Moore. The east window was created by Willement.
