The Church of England parish church of St Mary is late Anglo-Saxon. [2] The nave and lower part of the west tower were built in the early or mid-11th century, in the last decades before the Norman conquest of England. [2] The top of the tower is slightly later, representing the Saxo-Norman overlap architecture of the late 11th or early 12th century. [2] The chancel arch is pure Norman, the north aisle was added in the 14th century and the chancel was rebuilt in 1862–64. [3]

St Mary's is now a Grade I listed building. [4] The parish is now part of a joint benefice with the parishes of East Lutton, Helperthorpe, Kirby Grindalythe, Weaverthorpe and West Lutton. [5]

History

The affix "le-Street" in the toponym refers to the fact that the village is beside the course of a former Roman road. The Domesday Book of 1086 records the manor as Warham. About 1 mile (1.6 km) south of the village is the deserted medieval village of Wharram Percy. Wharram railway station on the Malton and Driffield Railway served the village from 1853 to 1950. [6] On 1 April 1935 the parish was abolished and merged with Raisthorpe and Burdale and Wharram Percy to form Wharram. [7]
