The church of St. Mary, built at a cost of upwards of £25,000, by the late Beaumont, 3rd Baron Hotham, and consecrated Aug. 6th, 1861, is an edifice of Steetly and Hildenly stone, in the late Early English style, from designs by J. L. Pearson esq. R.A., F.S.A. and consists of chancel, with side chapels, transepts, nave, south porch and a western tower with spire 208 feet in height and containing a clock and three bells: the seats, pulpit and choir stalls are of carved oak: the windows are stained, and include a memorial window in the south transept to the late Rev. Thomas Frederick Simmons M.A. 31 years rector, and Harriett, his wife, both of whom died in 1884; below the south chapel are interred the remains of Lord Hobham, the founder of the church, d. 12 Dec. 1870, and Charles, 4th Baron Hotham, who died 29th May, 1872, and in the chapel is a curious marble monument to Sir John Hotham, 2nd bart. ob. 1689, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Sapcote Beaumont bart. 2nd Viscount Beaumont: it was executed in Italy and formerly stood in the church of South Dalton, and consists of four figures, emblematic of the cardinal virtues, supporting a black marble slab, on which is an effigy in armour, somewhat above the actual size and wearing a flowing wig: the north chapel is occupied by the organ and vestry, and a choir vestry was added, from a design by Mr. Pearson, by Charles, 4th Baron Hotham, in 1871.

The registers of the united parish commence in 1861, but up to that date there are separate registers for South Dalton, from 1653, and for Holme-on-the-Wolds, beginning in 1539. The benefice is a rectory, net yearly value £250, including 35 acres of glebe, with residence, in the gift of Lord Hotham, and held since 1909 by the Rev. Arthur Swire.
