Eston nr. Ormesby [disappeared?]

The Victoria County History (York North Riding, vol. 2, 1923) notes: "The old chapel of ST. HELEN at Eston stands a short distance to the north-west of the village, and consists of chancel, nave and west tower, with a small vestry on the north side of the chancel. It is built of stone, but the walls are almost entirely covered with ivy, and the roofs are slated. Graves, writing about 1808, describes what appears to have been a 12th-century south doorway, then partly walled up, but this has disappeared, and no part of the building is of any great antiquity. The chancel was at that time 'separated by a circular arch,' and both the tower and chancel appeared to be of 'more modern construction than the body of the chapel.' [...] The building seems to have been very drastically restored shortly after, the nave, perhaps, being almost entirely rebuilt, and its general appearance is now that of an early 19th-century Gothic structure, the windows all being modern with wooden frames and bars. [...] The chapel of Eston, first mentioned in 1539, [...] was dependent on Ormesby; the advowson of the perpetual curacy followed the same descent. [...] The living is now styled a vicarage." [NB: believed to have served as chapel-of-ease to Ormesby, with an appointed vicar, but not known which parochial functions it had; baptism? -- the chapel was later expanded and became the cemetery chapel of Eston].
