St Giles is a superb little church dating mainly from the mid-12th century and the architecture is entirely Early English. The highly decorated, though much restored, south door. The architectural style is similar to the mid-13th century parts of York Minster e.g. the south transept built in 1225-1230, so did the same stonemasons work on this too? It was built when Archbishop de Gray confirmed a donation to the chapel made by Robert Haget, Treasurer of York Minster.

The church has a fine little bellcote tower, gable crosses and buttresses and was built at or before 1247.

The church consists of a nave (with two bays) and a chancel.

The upper parts of the tall east end lancet windows of the chancel.

The interior is strong and magnificent with great decorated capitals and fine arches.

The stained glass three lancet lights of the east window.

The decoration of the stonework is quite striking, this was workmanship of the highest order.

The arches and windows of the west end and the south door.
