St Patrick's Church, Preston Patrick

Until the 19th century, this locality was within the large rural parish of Heversham. However, there was a chapel on the site. In 1850 the Lancaster architects Edmund Sharpe and E. G. Paley reported that the chapel appeared, from its architectural design, to have been built during the reign of Henry VII (1457–1509). The architects designed a new church. Building started in 1852 and the new church opened on 28 November of that year. It cost about £1,400 (), and had seating for 1,386 people. In 1892 the chancel was rebuilt by Paley, Austin and Paley, the successors of Sharpe and Paley.

Inside the church, the nave is whitewashed, and it contains a north arcade carried on monolithic limestone columns. The chancel is lined with sandstone ashlar. Flanking the east window are two canopied niches. The stained glass in the east window is by Shrigley and Hunt and depicts the Te Deum. There are two war memorials, one by Heaton, Butler and Bayne, the other by Powells. The two-manual pipe organ was made by Wilkinson of Kendal in 1891, and has been modified several times.
