In the mediaeval period, the village of Girsby was served by All Saints' Church, Sockburn on the opposite side of the River Tees. It was abandoned in 1838, when a new church was built in the village. The Victoria County History describes the Victorian church as "an uninteresting building",[1] while the National Churches Trust calls it a "simple country church".[2] It was grade II listed in 1988.[3]
The church is built of sandstone with a concrete tile roof. It consists of a nave and a chancel in one unit, and a south porch. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote with two round-arched openings. The porch is gabled, and contains a round-arched entrance with a chamfered surround, and the windows in the church have round-arched heads. The inside is plastered and plain, with a wall monument dating from 1788.[4]
