St Mary's Church is the parish church of Cloughton, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
There was a Mediaeval church in Cloughton, which consisted of a nave, chancel, north aisle, south porch, and bellcote at the west end. It was demolished in 1831, and a replacement was built, to a design by J. Thompson and G. Taylor. It was restored and extended from 1889 to 1890, by Smith, Brodrick and Lowther. The building was Grade II listed in 1951.[1][2]
The church is built of sandstone on a chamfered plinth, and has a slate roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel under a continuous roof, a north chapel and organ chamber, and a south vestry. On the west gable is a three-light bellcote with Tudor arched corbelled hood moulds. There are Tudor arched doorways in the north and west walls, and the east window has five lights with Perpendicular tracery. A window in the south aisle commemorates Frank Lockwood. On the south wall of the chancel is a marble monument to William and Priscilla Bower, dates 1704, and there is a war memorial tablet designed by Eric Gill.[1][2][3]
