Administrative history | The parish of Ampleforth is served by a church dedicated to Saint Hilda. A church has stood on this site since Saxon times, but the first stonework dates from around 1250. A 'vicaridge' was created in Ampleforth by the Dean and Chapter at York on Holy Innocent's Day in 1304. The church was renovated and partly rebuilt in 1866.
