St Mary's Church, Marton-le-Moor

St Mary's Church is a deconsecrated Anglican church in Marton-le-Moor, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.

There was a church in Marton-le-Moor in the Mediaeval period. It was rebuilt on the same site in 1830 at a cost of £130. In 1851, it could seat 160 parishioners, and had an average attendance of 50 each Sunday.[1] The building was grade II listed in 1987.[2] It closed in 2005, with items including the organ being moved to St John's Church, Sharow.[3] In 2009, it was sold for conversion into a house, despite having no electric or water supply.[4]

The church is built of white limestone on the front, with grey limestone at the rear, and a stone slate roof with shaped kneelers and gable copings. It consists of a nave and a chancel under one roof, and a west porch. On the west gable is a bellcote. The door and the windows have pointed arches.[2]
