Old All Saints Church, Skelton-in-Cleveland - 07867 974738

Old All Saints Church is a redundant Anglican church in the town of Skelton-in-Cleveland, North Yorkshire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.HistoryThe church was rebuilt on a site near Skelton Castle in 1785 by John Hall-Stevenson. It replaced an older church on the same site that had been built by the Fauconberg family in the 14th century. Part of the fabric of the older church was incorporated into this church; this consists of part of the north wall of the chancel, supported by a buttress. This, on its interior, includes memorials to the Trotter family of the castle. In 1859 a font in Caen stone was given to the church. In 1884 a new church, also dedicated to All Saints, was opened in High Street. The font and one of the bells were moved to the new church. The roofs of the church were repaired and re-slated in 1911. The old church was vested in the Trust on 1 December 1996.
