St Columba's Church, Scarborough - east end
A view from across Columbus Ravine. Instead of standard side aisles, there is a triangular space to the south of the main nave (seen here) and on the north side a series of reducing spaces : first a narrow side aisle, then a small side chapel and a further very small space beyond that. A two-storey wedge-shaped building and a small tower occupy the easternmost corner of the site.
St Columba's church, Scarborough

The church was designed by Temple Moore in 1914, but not built until after his death, being completed in 1926 by his son-in-law. About half his churches, which are in the late Gothic revival style but more airy and spacious than others, are in North Yorkshire. This one is listed grade 2* (list entry 1272794).

Columba was a 6th century Irish saint, but the choice of name for the church may have been influenced more by the name of the road on which it stands: Columbus Ravine.

Worship is in the liberal catholic style within the Church of England.
