Stamford Bridge was a chapelry within the parish of Catton until 1868, when the new parish was formed from parts of Catton and Gate Helmsley.
A new church was built there in the 1860s, to a design by George Fowler Jones, and consecrated on 28 January 1868. The building work was partly funded by Charles Darley of Burtonfield Hall.
In 1957 it became the parish church of what was now the parish of Stamford Bridge with Catton and Scoreby. A new parsonage house was built in 1956 and the churchyard was enlarged in 1936.
Today the parish of Stamford Bridge with Catton and Scoreby is part of the Stamford Bridge Group of parishes, together with Scrayingham and Low Catton.

This arrangement was designed to reflect the principal activities of the parish and its associated organisations, and to aid researchers in identifying the records these activities generate. This arrangement was introduced in 2020. Records are arranged within the following alphabetical series but retain their original archival reference at file/item level:
A: Parish Registers
B: Church Ceremonial
C: Parish Clergy
D: Property - Religious
E: Property - Secular
F: Parish Administration and Officers
G: Parish Social and Evangelical Activities
H: Overseer of the Poor and Parish Charity
J: Schools
K: Promotional and Informational Material

Records are open to the public, subject to the overriding provisions of relevant legislation, including data protection laws. 24 hours' notice is required to access photographic material.

The archive was deposited at the Borthwick Institute in 1980.
