History
Built by Lockwood & Mawson in 1862.
Bell
A single bell hung for full circle ringing in the 130' south west tower. This bell was originally cast for the predecessor of Christ Church Harrogate. When the new church was built in 1831 the non-conformists bought the furnishings from the old chapel which included the bell. They hung this in their chapel and transferred it to the new building in 1862.
