The present parish church of Terrington dates to at least the eleventh century and may be Saxon in origin. The advowson was held in part by Anketin Mallory, lord of the manor of Wiganthorpe, and his wife Sarah in 1246, when it was quitclaimed to them by the Archbishop of York.
By the fourteenth century the manor was held by the Stapletons, with the advowson of the church divided between them and the Salvin family. The Stapletons were succeeded in the lordship by the Methams, who acquired the Salvin portion and subsequently sold the whole advowson to John Micklethwaite in 1654.
The nave of the church was largely rebuilt in the twelfth century and the whole building was expanded in the fourteenth. The tower is believed to have been added in the fifteenth century. The church was restored in 1870 by architect Ewan Christian at the instigation of then rector, Samuel Wimbush. A large rectory house was built in 1827 and then replaced in 1868.
The parish includes Ganthorpe, Mowthorpe and Wiganthorpe. A chapel of ease, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, was recorded at Ganthorpe in the first half of the sixteenth century, although this was leased to Francis Metham in 1560 and was not mentioned thereafter.
Today the parish is part of the Howardian Group benefice, which also includes Bulmer, Dalby, Huttons Ambo, and Welburn.

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 1964 by the incumbent. Further additions were made to the archive in 1984, 1986, 1989, 1996, 2007, 2017 and 2020.
