The church, in 2019

All Saints' Church is the parish church of Appleton Roebuck, a village south-west of York, in England.

Until 1868, Appleton Roebuck was in the parish of Bolton Percy.[1] That year, a church was constructed in the village, designed by John Bownas and William Atkinson.[2] In 1875, the parish was merged with that of neighbouring Acaster Selby, though All Saints remained the parish church.[1] The church was grade II listed in 1978.[2]

The church is built in sandstone, with red brick in the interior, and it has a tile roof. It consists of a four-bay nave with a south porch, and a two-bay chancel with a north vestry. At the west end is a twin bellcote below which is a clock face. Most of the windows have two lights, while the east window has three, and they are in the Geometrical style. The nave has a higher roof than the chancel. Inside, there is a hammerbeam roof, and the chancel arch is supported on black marble piers. One stained glass window on the south side of the nave is by Charles Eamer Kempe.[2]
