St Mary's Church is the parish church of Haxby, a town north of York in England.
The first church in Haxby was constructed in about 1328. In the 16th century, it was replaced with a building on a new site, but by the mid 19th century it was in poor repair. It burned down in 1876,[1] and a new church was constructed on the same site, to a design by James Demaine.[2] It is in the Gothic Revival style and was completed in 1878, at a cost of £2,300. In 1911, the nave was extended by three bays, a porch was added, and the turret was replaced by a bellcote,[1] the new work being by C. Hodgson Fowler.[3] A vestry was added in 1921, and the church was reordered in 1985, and a balcony was added.[1]
The church is built of stone, with a slate roof.[2] It has a long nave and a lower chancel.[3] Inside are various memorials to the Hodgson family. There is a single bell, dated 1621.[4]
