Last updated July 19, 2024

Holy Innocents Church is an Anglican church in Copt Hewick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

Anglican worship in Copt Hewick began in the mid-19th century, in a schoolroom. In 1876, a church was constructed, to a design by W. Lewis and Robert Hargreave Brodrick. It was consecrated by the Bishop of Ripon on 2 August. In 1887, it was dedicated to the Holy Innocents, and that year, the nave was extended, a vestry added, and the roof was replaced. In 1960, new altar rails and a reading desk were installed, and the following year, stained glass was placed in the windows.^[1] The church was Grade II listed in 1986.^[2]

The church is built of polychromatic brick, with a roof in purple slate with grey bands. It consists of a nave with a south porch, an apsidal chancel with a conical roof, and a north vestry. On the roof is a wooden lantern with a short spire. The west window has two lights, and the other windows are lancets. The porch has a blue brick archway with a wooden head pierced by small quatrefoils. Inside, there are many polychromatic tiles, and there is a chancel screen which can slide into the side walls.^[2]^[3]
