Background
History
The original church was intended as a chantry chapel for the fifth Sir Piers Legh of Lyme in the early 16th century but Sir Piers died before it was completed. It was built between 1527 and 1558,
Architecture
Inside the church are galleries at the west end and over the aisles. The windows contain medieval glass from the Continent. The organ was built by Samuel Renn in 1836 and rebuilt in 1882 by Alex Young. It was renovated in 1949 by Jardine and restored by Church and Company of Stamfordham in 1977. The organ case of 1836 by Renn is still in place. There is a ring of six bells, all cast by Thomas Mears II at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1837. The parish registers begin in 1591.
