This little church fell into direpair inthe 19070's. It was lovingly restored to it's former glory in 1975. It is till used for church services and celebrated it's centenary on the 21st May 1995. The place is representative of other simple places of worship erected in this period by semi-isolated communities.
The stone face work, quoining, pointed arch windows, 'high' pitched roof and timber porch suggest Victorian Rustic Gothic Style. The building sits prominently in it's site because of it's height and the cleared area in the immediate grounds.
This small church was built of local stone almost single handed by Mr A E Woodruffe- lay minister to Cannon Grosser the 2nd Rector of Beverley in 1895. Stone was carted to the site by members of the Potts Family and others. Situated in a small bush setting next to Dale Hall, it is surrounded by a recently restores graveyard with 32 marked graves and an unknown number of unmarked graves.
