St Mary Magdalene's Church, Broughton-in-Furness

The oldest fabric in the present church is the late Norman south doorway, dating from the 12th century. Alterations and additions were made to the church in the 16th and the 19th centuries. They removed the west gallery and reseated the body of the church. Stone from St Bees was used for the external dressings, and the interior was faced with Runcorn sandstone. In 1900 the south west tower was replaced by Austin and Paley, the successors of Paley and Austin.

The church is constructed in stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a three-bay chancel, a south aisle, a south porch, and a southwest tower. The windows and bell openings are round-headed, following the style of the Norman doorway. The tower is in three stages, with buttresses and a corbel table. At its summit are a coped parapet and gablets to the east and west. The bell openings are louvred. Internally, the arcade is carried on round piers. In the aisle is a restored piscina. The stained glass includes works by Kempe, Shrigley and Hunt, and by William Morris, (designed by Burne-Jones).
