St Marys Church, exterior
St Mary's Chapel was first built about AD 1000 and rebuilt in the 12th century and again in the 14th century. It stands in the ruins of a Roman Signal Station built AD 370 on the castle headland, to give warning of Anglo-Saxon raiders off Scarborough.

Before this time the headland was occupied about 500BC by Iron Age settlers from the Low Countries or the Rhineland.

In a detached part of the burial ground, overlooked by the castle is buried Anne Bronte, who died on 28 May 1849, aged 28.
The Parish Church of Scarborough (1170-1200) was originally built with imposing twin towers possibly by the Masons at the Castle. Extensions and alterations, including the removal of the twin towers, were carried out during the fourteenth century. The Central Tower and the Chancel were destroyed by artillery during the Civil War when the Parliamentarians used the Church for their batteries to attack the Royalist held Castle. The existing tower was rebuilt in 1670 and the extent of the original Chancel is marked by masonry. St Mary's Chapel. First built about AD 1000 and rebuilt in the 12th century and again in the 14th century, it stands in the ruins of a Roman Signal Station built AD 370, to give warning of Anglo-Saxon raiders. Before this time the headland was occupied about 500BC by Iron Age settlers from the Low Countries or the Rhineland. St. Mary's Church dates from the 12th Century. All the original Stained Glass in the Church was destroyed by Cromwells Armies during the Civil War. Further damage was sustained by the Church when it was hit by a German 'Parachute Mine" in 1995 the 'Friends of St. Mary's" was formed, and amongst other things have completed the addition of window guards to the Church. The body of world famous author, Anne Bronte, lies in the graveyard
