St Marys Richmond dates from 1137. The register books commencing in 1556. Following the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536, the canopied choir stalls from nearby Easby Abbey were moved into St Mary's Church where they remain today. A complete restoration was undertaken by Sir Gilbert Scott in 1858 - 62.

Near the north wall stands a stone commemorating the death of 1,050 Richmond people who died in the plague of 1597-98. Of particular interest are the grave of Robert Willance who was born in the 16th century and whose house still stands in Frenchgate, and the graves of two soldiers who fought at Waterloo.
