History

The first church on the site was built before 1786. [2] It was a chapel of ease to Ulverston parish church. The church was built in roughcast stone; it was a long low building with a large west tower. [3] This church had round-headed windows. [2] A new, larger church was built in 1831. [3] The chancel was added in 1855–56, designed by Miles Thompson. [2] In 1864–65 the nave was rebuilt by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley, and the south aisle was added. This work cost £1,000 (equivalent to £110,000in 2021), [4] and was paid for by Countess Blücher von Wahlstadt. [5] A transept was added in about 1890. The tower was demolished in 1893, and a replacement designed by Frearson was erected in 1969. [2]

Architecture

The church is constructed in slate rubble, with red stone dressings. [2] The west front is rendered. [3] Its plan consists of a nave, a south aisle, a chancel, a south transept, with a tower at the northwest corner, and a west porch. The tower has a saddleback roof. Inside the church, the arches of the arcade are in brick. The carved wooden reredos dates from 1908. Also in the church is a painting of the Descent from the Cross. The stained glass is by William Wailes. [2] The two manual organ was built in 1866 by Wilkinson, and was moved from the west end to the chancel in 1890. [6] The lychgate is a First World War memorial. [3]
