Church in England
The Church of St Chad is a grade II listed structure in the village of Middlesmoor, in Upper Nidderdale, North Yorkshire, England. The church was built in 1866 to replace an earlier chapel on the site, and prior to a burial ground being consecrated, funerals and burials had to take place at Kirkby Malzeard, under which ecclesiastical parish the church fell under. The church is located on high ground between the valleys of the River Nidd and How Stean Gorge; its elevated position means it looks over the valley southwards, and is sometimes declared as having one of the best views from any church in England.
Although the current church was built in 1866, a chapel previously existed on the site which was consecrated in 1484.[1] Up until the building of the chapel, christenings and burials had to be undertaken at Kirkby Malzeard, some 10 miles (16Â km) to the east in the adjoining valley.[3] The chapel at Middlesmoor was a daughter church to that at Kirkby Malzeard and was described as parochial chapel in the period up to the Reformation. Until it was rebuilt in 1866, the chapel had no dedication and was not in any diocese, being wholly controlled by the vicar at Kirkby Malzeard.[5]
The churchyard contains one Commonwealth War Grave.[6]
As a chapel, it was in the parish of Kirkby Malzeard; it was then created in its own independent parish in 1864. The church is in the parish and benefice of Upper Nidderdale which is in the deanery of Ripon, the archdeaconry of Richmond and Craven and the Diocese of Leeds.[8]
