The church, which is an ancient structure, is pleasantly situated on an eminence, near the river Wharf. The living is a rectory, in the gift of Mrs. Mary Cunliffe. The parish of Addingham (including that part of Beamsley in Skipton parish), contained, in 1831, 2,458 inhabitants, and the township of Addingham 2,179 of that number.
