Said to be the smallest active church in Yorkshire, and one of the smallest in Britain, St James is a Grade II listed building. Dating from Norman times, it has been closed for worship and then reopened at least twice, and boasts a decorated font. Some say that smugglers used to hide out here!

St Martin's church was completed in 1863 and was designed by George Bodley. The beauty of the church is famous in the area and features excellent examples of preRaphaelite stained glass.
The church of St Mary dates from 1150. It is believed to have been built by the masons that were employed by the castle and whether this is true or not what is certain is that it is the place where they would have worshiped.
In the days of its medieval glory, Bridlington Priory was one of the great monastic houses of England. The church was more than twice as large as what now remains. The Priory today is a glorious survival of that pre Reformation splendour, now shorn of its great choir which housed the shrine of St John of Bridlington, its transepts and its stately central tower over which soared a stone crown.
