Background

History

The ecclesiastical parish of All Saints, Higher Walton, was formed in 1865 out of the parish of St Leonard, Walton-le-Dale. The church, standing on an eminence overlooking the village, was erected in 1861–2 from the designs of the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley at a cost of £6,000 (). Paley donated a stained glass window depicting the healing of the sick man. The steeple was added in 1871 by the partnership of Paley and Austin.

Architecture

Inside the church is an arcade of three short piers with capitals carved with different foliage designs. On the chancel walls are painted geometrical patterns, and on the ceiling are painted panels. There is a ring of eight bells, all cast by John Taylor & Co between 1871 and 1928.
