Bridekirk - St Bridges

Bridekirk - St Bridges
Bridekirk, the town´s name, derives from St Bridges´ Kirk (church), so a probably wooden church has been here since early times.

This church was replaced with a stone church in 1130. Before the Dissolution of the Monasteries, St Bridget's Church was owned by Gisborough Priory in the North Riding of Yorkshire. Following the deterioration of the building over the years, a new church was built in 1868, alongside the ruins of the chancel of the old church. Incorporated in the new church are several elements of the old church: the tympanum and archway of the south door, the door in the south transept, and the former chancel arch. The new church is in neo-Norman style.
