The Gothic church we see today is largely the result of 1875 restoration by local prominent architects from Lancaster, Paley and Austin. This was largely paid for by Colonel D. C. Greene of nearby Whittington Hall. The tower is the oldest part of the church from 1400s. There are Norse gravestones in the graveyard.
There are some fine stained glass windows.
Services are shared with nearby churches. For current service times. (
