St Andrew's Church

The church was designed by George Edmund Street commissioned by Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere House. Work started in 1873 and St Andrew's was completed in 1877. It has sculptures of the four saintly fathers of the Latin Church, St Augustine, St Ambrose, St Gregory and St Jerome, all modelled by James Redfern. They were originally intended for the northern porch of Bristol Cathedral but were thought too "papist" by the Dean and rejected. They were rescued by Street. [9]

The church is now redundant and the Grade I listed building is cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.

Transport

The A64 trunk road passes through the village. A regular Yorkshire Coastliner bus service providing connections to Scarborough, Malton, York and Leeds is operated by Transdev Blazefield. [10]

East Heslerton was served by Heslerton railway station on the York to Scarborough Line between 1845 and 1930. [11]
