Viewed from the green. Anglo-Saxon sculpture has been found in the church suggesting the site has been in use for a very long time. The outside of the church presents a fairly uniform 15th century appearance in the “Perpendicular” style. The Norman origins are clear from the north aisle arcade (c.1120). The village was originally called Alverton or Aelfereton, the farm belonging to Aelfere. By the fourteenth century the place was called Northallerton to distinguish it from other places in Yorkshire called Allerton.
