The Grade II listed [[St Giles' Church, Copmanthorpe|St Giles' Church]] on Church Street was built in 1180 and much remains of the original Norman design.<ref name="story"/><ref>{{NHLE|num=1166793|desc=Church of St Giles|access-date=15 June 2021}}</ref> St Giles did not become a parish church in its own right until 1866, as Copmanthorpe was previously part of the parish of [[St Mary Bishophill Junior, York|St Mary Bishophill Junior]] in York. The parish was detached from St Mary Bishophill in 1844 and for a time linked to the parish at Askham Richard.<ref>{{cite book |title= The Victorian Church in York|last= Royle|first= Edward|year= 1983|publisher= Borthwick Papers|location= York|isbn= 0-900701-57-9|pages= 2 & 42}}</ref>

Church Street was also the site of the first [[Methodism|Methodist Chapel]] in the village, around 1788. The modern chapel was built in 1958 in Main Street by the architects Greenwood and Nicholls.
