Holy Trinity Church, Yearsley

Holy Trinity Church is the parish church of Yearsley, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

Yearsley was long in the parish of St Michael's Church, Coxwold. In 1839, a chapel of ease was constructed in the village,[1] and it was finally given its own parish in 1960.[2] The building was grade II listed in 1988.[3]

The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel with a polygonal apse under one roof, a north porch and a south vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote corbelled out on buttresses. The porch is gabled, and contains a doorway with a chamfered surround, a pointed head and a hood mould, and above it is a recessed plaque with a unicorn's head and the date. The windows have Y-tracery. Inside, there is an altar rail dating from around 1700, a tub font, and a back rest to a pew converted from a 17th-century chest.[3][4]
