Hoby Church All Saints, located on a slight hill overlooking the Wreake Valley, has a west tower with recessed spire, north and south aisles, a nave and a chancel. The tower has a 13th-century base with a later spire added probably in the 14th century, at the same time as the clerestory. The remaining parts of the church date to the 13th century, but there is also some Victorian restoration work in the chancel. The church has been a Grade I listed building since January 1968.
