Hayton was a chapelry of Pocklington until 1252 when a vicarage was ordained in the chapels of Hayton and Bielby and the living was appropriated to the Deanery of York. Hayton thereafter became the parish church and Bielby a chapel of ease, both subject to the peculiar jurisdiction of the Dean of York until the nineteenth century. The living was augmented in 1737.
The parish church, which is dedicated to St Martin, dates to the twelfth century. It was restored in 1860. The rectory dates to the late eighteenth century and was rebuilt in 1858 by Thomas Grant of Pocklington.
In 1959 Bielby chapelry separated from Hayton to become part of the benefice of Seaton Ross with Everingham and Harswell. Today Hayton parish is part of the benefice of Londesborough Wold, which also includes Burnby, Londesborough and Shiptonthorpe.

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 1976 by the incumbent. Further additions were made to the archive in 1981, 1993, 1999, 2000 and 2009.
