St Andrew's Church, Cliffe Explained

St Andrew's Church is a mission church in Cliffe, a village near Selby in North Yorkshire, in England.

A chantry chapel linked to Cliffe was established at Drax Priory in 1345. There was no Anglican place of worship in the village until 1908, when a mission church linked to St Mary the Virgin, Hemingbrough was constructed.[1] [2] It was a small wooden structure, but supported a service each Sunday.[3] It was rebuilt in brick in 1985 and is now described by the Church of England as a "tranquil place for worship", which is also ideal for holding meetings.
