Heslington Church

Heslington Church is a Grade II listed building in Heslington featuring traditional Victorian architecture on its south side. The north side contains modern additions including meeting rooms and a vestry for practical church functions.

The original structure was built in 1858 by architects J. B. and W. Atkinson. Major renovations by Ronald Sims in the 1970s modernized the building for contemporary use.

The church is shared by Anglican and Methodist congregations, welcoming both local residents and students from the University of York campus. This joint partnership shapes how the space is used by diverse groups of worshippers.

The building is accessible to visitors during services and community gatherings in Heslington. It helps to check ahead about visiting times since the space is regularly used for different events throughout the week.

A 1971 merger between Saint Paul's Church and Heslington Methodist Chapel created one of the few joint Methodist and Anglican worship spaces in the region. This joining of two different religious traditions remains uncommon in the surrounding area.
