St Giles Church, Skelton, is one of England's 1000 best churches (Simon Jenkins).
Building started in 1247, reputedly by masons also building York Minster.
The church is normally open every day from 10:00 to 16:00; visitors are welcome.
A guide to the church is available.
The congregation for ordinary services at St. Giles is usually about 30.
We use the "Common Worship" order of service, with hymns from "Mission Praise" and music
of "The Addington Service". We have recently formed "The St.Giles` Singers", who will be singing on the second Sunday of each month and for other special services.
Also recently formed (on St. Giles Day 1st. Sept.) was the
Friends of St. Giles which we hope will draw additional support from both the village and the wider community for our beautiful church. If you wish to become a member of "Friends", please send your name and address to friendsofstgiles@googlemail.com
