Background
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 (), but these were scaled back, and the planned spire was replaced by a tower with a saddleback roof. The new church replaced a smaller church built in 1765, and the site was given by Major T. Fermor-Hesketh. The tower was completed by the same architect in 1935 at a cost of £721.
Architecture
The authors of the Buildings of England series state that this a small church, but that its broad west tower is "impressive". 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.
