St Giles' Church, Goxhill

The church, in 2006

St Giles' Church is an Anglican church in Goxhill, a hamlet in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.

There was a church in Goxhill by the 13th century. It was largely rebuilt in 1786 and the tower was again rebuilt in 1817. The whole church was demolished and a new church constructed in 1840. The tower was repaired in 1860, and the church was grade II listed in 1985.[1][2][3]

View from the nave into the chancel

The church is built of stone, brick and cobbles, partly rendered, and has overhanging slate roofs. It consists of a nave, a chancel with a polygonal apse, and a west tower. The tower has three stages, a plinth, pilaster buttresses, a pointed west doorway over which is a hood mould and an inscribed and dated plaque, pointed bell openings with hood moulds, and a pyramidal roof. Inside, there is a 15th-century piscina with an ogee canopy, and a heavily-repaired 12th-century tub font.[3][4]
