Churches Conservation Trust owns old All Saints' Church, Skelton

The Churches Conservation Trust cares for churches of historic, architectural and archeological importance which are no longer needed for regular worship.

The Trust warmly welcomes visitors to its 325 churches, scattered throughout England. As a charity, the Trust appreciates all contributions towards the maintenance of this rich and varied heritage.

Here at Skelton inCleveland, the Trust owns and maintains the old All Saints' Church. The churchyard remains the property of Skelton-in-Cleveland Parochial Church Council (All Saints' Parish Church) and routine maintenance is the responsibility of Redcar & Cleveland Borough Council.
