The Anglican parish church of St. Wilfrid, on Main Street, Monk Fryston stands centrally in the village, looking across to Monk Fryston Hall, former home of the Hemsworth family, through whose generosity the church was restored in the late 19th century.

There is evidence that a pre-conquest (1066) church existed on the present site. There is documentary proof suggesting the church was originally dedicated to St. Mary.

The current church dates from the 13th century with building work across the ages. A major restoration took place in 1889-91 by J. Hall Thorp & Son of Leeds under the supervision of Architect, Robert J. Johnson. The total cost being in the region of £7000.

The raised churchyard lies north of the church containing the village's WW1 war memorial.
