The ancient 12th Century Church of All Saints' was the original parish church of Great Ayton until the new building of Christ Church replaced it following a proposal in 1866 that a new church should be built. This was because the old building was becoming too small to house the growing congregation of the parish.

This Church is open for visitors from April to October from 2pm - 4.30pm each day, subject to the availability of Guides.

The cemetery at All Saints' has been 'closed' for many years. Inscriptions on some of the headstones give details from several centuries ago.

n about 1995 a group of students recorded the names from the legible gravestones at All Saints and linked these to a map of the churchyard. These documents are available in the church & in 2021 Robin Hazell, the custodian, advised he is willing to arrange to meet anyone wishing to locate any of these gravestones to see if he can help. Robin can be contacted on 01642 722975
