This substantial church stands on a site going back more than 1000 years.
Inside are kept stones which have elements of Viking style, discovered during Victorian rebuilding.
Complementing Miss Steel's comment about the fine view of the North Sea to be had from by Blythe Church, the Admiralty Pilot (NP54) cites the spire on the church tower as 'a useful mark' for shipping off the North Yorkshire coast between Teesmouth and Whitby.
