St Mary's Church, East Cottingwith
St Mary's Church is the parish church of East Cottingwith, a village in the East Riding of Yorkshire, in England.
The church was probably completed in 1786, replacing an earlier chapel.[1] The window sills were raised in the 19th century, to match the one over the door.[2] In 1851, the church could seat 176 worshippers and had a typical weekly attendance of 40.[3] The building was grade II listed in 1967.[2] In 2010, it was holding a service most Sundays, but was running an annual deficit.
The church is built of red-brown brick, with a stepped brick eaves cornice, and a slate roof with raised coped gables. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, a canted apse at the east end, and a west tower. The tower has a plinth, a round-headed west window, round-headed bell openings, and a pyramidal lead roof. The doorway and windows have round heads under gauged brick arches. Inside, there is a hexagonal late-18th century pulpit.[2][4]
