Background
History
The church replaced a chapel of ease on the other site of the road, which was built in 1721 and consecrated in 1725. This church was built in 1853–54, and designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley, at a cost of £1,678 (equivalent to £|r=-4}}}} as of ). It was consecrated on 16 June 1854 by the bishop of Chester.
Architecture
Inside the church, the south arcade is carried on circular piers. The stone reredos dates from 1863, and has marble colonnettes. All the stained glass is by William Wailes, other than a north window in the nave dated 1914 by Powells. The stone font and pulpit were carved by George Henry Redpath Young of Ulverston in 1854 at a cost of £34.10s having been commissioned by Elizabeth Lewthwaite, gentlewoman of Broadgate.
