It dates from the 14th and 15th centuries and was repaired by Ann Clifford after the siege of Skipton during the Civil War. The church features a west tower, an aisled nave with a clerestory, and a chancel with chapels. Most of the windows are in the Perpendicular style, although some are Decorated and mostly straight-headed. Three bays of the nave date from around 1350, with the remainder constructed later. Inside, there are timber roofs, a Jacobean font cover, a rood screen from 1533, a Kempe window, and notable Clifford monuments from the 16th and 17th centuries.
