Background
History
The church dates back to at least the 12th century, when its rector in 1190 is recorded as being named Ughtred. Before the Reformation the church was dedicated to Saint Helen. The tower of the present church was built in about 1500. The nave was built in 1817, incorporating the former north aisle, and in the process removing the galleries. The chancel was rebuilt in 1869–70 by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley.
Architecture
The font consists of a small square tub. Above the south door are the Royal arms of George III. On the tower wall are two benefaction boards. Also in the church is a brass chandelier dating from 1792. There is a ring of six bells. Two of these were cast in about 1530 by John Woolley, the others dating from 1904 by John Taylor & Co.
