All Saints Church is a Grade 2 listed building, standing prominently on a hill, immediately alongside the A170 Pickering to Scarborough road, and overlooking the picturesque village of Thornton Dale.
The present building, largely 14th century, is unusual in that, apart from the chancel, the main body of the Church is completely of that period known as the 'decorated' style of architecture. The chancel was completely rebuilt in 1865/6.

St Hilda's Church is a Grade 2 listed building, situated just North
of Thornton Dale in the tiny hamlet of Ellerburn
It is the tradional 'mother' church of the district.
The earliest carved stone, rebuilt into the outside of the chancel
wall, is dated ninth to tenth century (850-950 A.D.). Our present
stone church is built on similar lines to St Gregory's Minster at
Kirkdale, and is of a similar date, probably around 1050 A.D. The
building was restored between 1904 and 1911 to include the
new Porch and Vestry. The building of the Vestry uncovered
earlier foundations thought to be those of either a Chapel or
Sacristy.
UPDATE: October 2017
The church heating is currently being upgraded so NO Morning Prayer on this Monday 16 October. Otherwise church 'working' as 'normal'.
