History

The present church dates mainly from the 15th century, although it contains possible remains of older fabric and a re-set 12th-century doorway.[2] In 1853 a porch was added by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley, and in 1858 the church was restored by the same architect.[3]

Architecture

Exterior

The church it constructed in ashlar. The roof of the chancel is slate; the roofs elsewhere are covered in lead. The plan of the church consists of a five-bay nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a three-bay chancel, and a west tower. The tower is in three stages, with angle buttresses and an embattled parapet. It originally had an open west porch, but this has been blocked and a door and a window have been inserted. The windows on the sides of the nave and chancel have two lights with panel tracery, and are flat-headed. The east window has three lights with Decorated tracery. The re-set 12th-century doorway is in the north wall of the nave.

Interior

Inside the church the arcades are supported by octagonal piers. The church contains a monument dated 1713 with Ionic pilasters, a broken pediment and a hatchment.[2] The two-manual organ was made in 1903 by Abbott and Smith of Leeds, and was restored in 1990 by Principal Pipe Organs.[4] The ring consists of eight bells. The oldest five bells date from 1788 and were cast by Robert Dalton, one bell dates from 1887 and is by John Warner & Sons, and the latest three bells were cast in 1950 by Gillett & Johnston.[5]
