St. Stephen's Church is a Grade 2 listed building, built in 1897-1898 by Smith, Brodrick and Lowther. It was formally consecrated by the then Archbishop of York in 1899. The church was built at a cost of £7000 funded by the generosity of a Thomas Whitaker, a barrister, of Everthorpe Hall. Built in Gothic style of local yellow brick, from the 'Land of Nod', an area of the canal towards Market Weighton and close to Sodhouse Lock, the church features a large five light east window of stained glass. The tower forms the main church entrance to the west of the building. |
Wallingfen Methodist Chapel, together with its entrance gates, are also Grade 2 listed buildings. The chapel was built in 1814 and is one of the best remaining examples of a Wesleyan Chapel of that era. It is one of only a few with a burial ground. The gates are of wrought-iron, with a semicircular motif and urn finials to gate posts, and a later overthrow with lamp holder. |
