The first church on the site was built in the early 12th century, probably in wood. The present church dates from about 1300, and was extended to the east in the late 15th century. The church was damaged during the Civil War, and was repaired and restored in the 1650s with financial assistance from Lady Anne Clifford of Skipton Castle, whose father's tomb is in the church. In 1853 the tower was struck by lightning. The church was restored in 1909. The church was struck by lightning again in 1925, causing a fire that destroyed the organ and damaged the roof. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Trinity_Church,_Skipton
