Old St Stephen's Church, Fylingdales, Grade I listed church building in Fylingdales, England
Old St Stephen's Church stands as a neoclassical sandstone structure with purple slate roofing, featuring a six-bay nave, bell-cupola, and pointed arch windows that overlook the North Yorkshire landscape.
Built in 1822 to replace a medieval predecessor, the church served local congregations until 1870 when a new parish church was constructed near the railway station.
The interior preserves Georgian ecclesiastical traditions through its triple-decker pulpit, Doric-columned gallery, box pews bearing family coats of arms, and memorial tablets honoring the Farsyde family.
Managed by the Churches Conservation Trust since 1986, the church offers Champing overnight accommodation experiences and seasonal public access through designated heritage pathways.
The building functions as both a preserved historical monument and contemporary accommodation facility, allowing visitors to sleep within its converted interior space while maintaining architectural integrity.
