Background
History
A chapel was built on the site of the present church in 1716, and a north aisle and a chancel were added in 1840. Between 1868 and 1871 the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin carried out work on the church. They rebuilt the nave, providing seating for 220 people, and added a tower. This cost £3,000 (), and was paid for by the Revd John Cross.
Architecture
Internally, the arcade is carried on octagonal piers. The nave has a barrel roof. In the chancel there are two sedilia with trefoil heads. The church contains two fonts. One of these consists of an octagonal bowl on a fluted base, dating possibly from the 18th century; the other is a 19th-century tub. The stained glass in the east window dates from 1954 and is by Shrigley and Hunt.
