St Mary's Church, Roecliffe, Grade II* listed church building in Roecliffe, England

The stone church features a three-bay nave, shallow chancel, north-east vestry, and a bellcote with a pitched roof containing a single bell.

Built in 1843 for Andrew Lawson of Aldborough Manor, the church incorporates stone from a Roman quarry and received additional buttresses in the 1870s.

The interior contains wood elements from other churches, including a Jacobean pulpit from Holy Trinity Church Hull and a 15th-century door from York Minster.

The church welcomes visitors on Saturdays and Sundays between 10 AM and 4 PM, with weekday access provided through local keyholders in Roecliffe village.

The entrance displays five black-and-white marble steps that previously formed part of York Minster, leading to a round arch supported by columns.
