Church of St Mary

About

St Mary's Church is a closed Anglican church in Foxholes, North Yorkshire, a village in England. A church was built in Foxholes in the Norman period. It was restored or rebuilt in about 1777.

In 1848, it was described as "an ancient structure, consisting of a nave and chancel separated by a fine Norman arch". In 1866, the church was entirely rebuilt by George Fowler Jones, in the Neo-Norman style. It was grade II listed in 1966.

The church is built of sandstone with limestone dressings, some Mansfield stone, and a slate roof. It consists of a nave, a north aisle, an apsidal chancel, a vestry, and a southwest tower. The tower has four stages, string courses, lancet windows and roundels, and round-headed bell openings, above which is a scalloped cornice and a pyramidal roof with a weathercock.

The porch is gabled, and contains a round arch with nailhead moulding, shafts with stiff-leaf capitals, an impost band and a hood mould. The stained glass in the windows of the apse was designed by Jean-Baptiste Capronnier.
