History

The earliest parts of the church are of Norman origin, however the church was remodelled somewhat in the 15th century. The 15th-century enlargements were thought to be unnecessary after the building of a church in Wetherby and the church was again remodelled in 1854–55 by JW Hugall, with the nave and chancel being returned to Norman style. [1] [2]

In 1971 the ecclesiastical parishes of Spofforth, Kirk Deighton, Follifoot and Little Ribston were merged to form the Parish of Spofforth and Kirk Deighton in the Diocese of Ripon. [3] The parish transferred to the Diocese of Leeds in 2014.

The blind road-builder John Metcalf (1717-1810) is buried in the churchyard. [4]
