St George the Martyr's Church, Scackleton

St George the Martyr's Church is an Anglican church in Scackleton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

Scackleton lies in the parish of All Saints' Church, Hovingham. In 1910, a church was constructed in the village.[1] The church was not licensed for weddings, and marriages conducted under special licence were held only in 1997 and 2013.[2]

The church is built of stone, with a tiled roof. It has a continuous nave and chancel, lit by narrow, pointed windows, and an oak porch on a stone base. Inside, there is a pine chancel screen, a bell supported by oak brackets in the middle of the west wall, and a font, brought from St Peter's Church, Dalby.[3]
