Background
History
The church originated as a small building consisting of a nave and chancel, built in 1864β66, and designed by Miles Thompson. It was extended towards the west in 1884 by Stephen Shaw, further enlarged to the north in 1905 by R. Morton Rigg. A south aisle was added in 1912β14 by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley.
Architecture
The plan of the church includes a nave with a clerestory, a lean-to north aisle, a south aisle under its own roof, and a chancel. Arising from the roof of the south aisle is a pair of dormers, one higher than the other. Inside the church, the north arcade is carried on octagonal piers, and the south arcade on taller round piers. The stained glass in the east window dates from 1880 and was designed by F. Burrow of Milnthorpe.
