Welcome to the Website of Helmsley Church

the church here for the people of Helmsley
and the surrounding area
and for our many visitors

All Saints is the parish church of Helmsley, the historic market town at the south-western corner of the North York Moors, and it has three satellite churches, at Rievaulx, Sproxton and East Moors.

Helmsley is a very attractive little market town to live in and to visit.

In the north-west corner of a bustling market place,
stands All Saints Church,
its tower visible on all approaches to the town:
a clear symbol of God's presence
a place of holiness and calm, of interest and inspiration.

And the hamlet churches too are places of retreat and quiet, as well as of historical and architectural interest.

Worship on Sundays and on weekdays makes use of both traditional and more modern rites, for our congregations of all ages and all traditions. Helmsley is a truly parish church.

Canon David Wilbourne has now been appointed Assistant Bishop of Llandaff.

Our mission statement:

God is so priceless he comes free
