History
There has been a church on this site since 1150. The current church was largely rebuilt to a design by C.R. Chorley and was completed in 1873.
Architectural style
Exterior
Although largely rebuilt in 1873 the church has some late medieval fabric. It is built of Sandstone ashlar with a slate roof. The church has a west tower built in three stages with diagonal buttresses, a clockface on its southside and belfry windows of two cusped lights. The church has a lychgate dating from 1889."
The clock face is painted blue/ grey and the hours are marked in Roman numerals with the individual minutes around the perimeter marked with dots. As is the case with many old clocks the number four is marked as IIII rather than IV as would be used today.
The numerals, minute markings and clock hands are all painted gold.
