Built in 1882 as a chapel of ease in the parish of Brayton for the growing village of Hambleton, the architect being the renowned late Victorian church architect, J L Pearson. In 1914 it joined with Gateforth to form the new parish of Gateeforth with Hambleton, becoming the main church of the parish in 1915. It is one of what Pearson himself referred to as his 'cheap churches' but is no less attractive for that, and is considered one of the best of the genre. The church is not Listed, although it is the subject of detailed analysis in Historic England Research Report 26/2016 https://tinyurl.com/sdpsv8h into various works by Pearson (see pp212-224) .
