History

The church was designed by the Lancaster architect Henry Paley of Austin and Paley, and built between 1925 and 1926. Plans had been made in 1923 for a church with a spire, which would have cost about £6,500 (equivalent to £370,000in 2019), [2] but these were scaled back, and the planned spire was replaced by a tower with a saddleback roof. [3] The new church replaced a smaller church built in 1765, and the site was given by Major T. Fermor-Hesketh. [4] The tower was completed by the same architect in 1935 at a cost of £721. [5]

Architecture

The authors of the Buildings of England series state that this a small church, but that its broad west tower is "impressive". [6] The tower is supported by stepped angle buttresses, and it has a pyramidal roof recessed on two sides. The windows contain tracery based on the Decorated and Perpendicular styles. [6]
