St Helen's Church was rebuilt as the parish church and a mortuary chapel for the Earls of Scarbrough in 1775. Though small, it is surprisingly ambitious. It was built of red brick with ample stone dressings and a complete portico in antis, the width of the front, with Tuscan columns. The portico is lit from the sides by circular windows. The nave and apse have large arched windows which are for the nave angle pilasters as well. There is a bell-turret balancing on the portico, which is square with an ogee cap and angle pilasters. The bell-openings have Gibbs surrounds. The church has a nice interior with panelled dado which have ionic pilasters on it, and the low apse with a diagonally coffered vault. The church was restoration in 1869 by R. Nevill of London, who (according to 'the builder') was responsible for the painting and gilding of the chancel. The pulpit has a tarsia and reader's desk with fluted pilasters. The family pew is also partly original. There are hatchments to Richard, the sixth Earl of Scarbrough (died 1832), and under the portico to John, the eighth Earl of Scarbrough (died 1856). The stained glass includes one south window by Powell's in 1874, the two scenes nicely stylized, with the kind of hieratic gestures as in the very earliest Pre-Raphaelite compositions. Monuments include tablets of no special merit to three Earls of Scarbrough, the sixth (died 1832; by Wray of Lincoln), the seventh (died 1835; by Theakston of Pimlico), and the eighth (died 1856; by C.R. Smith of Marylebone); also the seventh countess (died 1850; also by Smith). {1} A former mortuary chapel which is now a parish church.
