For those interested in church architecture or, more particularly, church architects this church is one of several in the area designed by Temple Lushington Moore (1856–1920) who was one of Victorian England's greatest church architects. In a career spanning five decades, he built more than forty churches.
The Temple Moore Trail gives lovers of architecture and beautiful countryside the chance to get to know Moore and the Moors. There are more than 20 Temple Moore buildings in the Trail, all in or near the North York Moors.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
