Background
History
The church was built in 1769 at the expense of the Cottons of Combermere Abbey. This church was cruciform in shape and in 1886 two further transepts, a chancel, a new west wall, a northwestern porch and a bellcote were added.
Architecture
In the church is a monument to Stapleton Cotton, 1st Viscount Combermere who died in 1865. It consists of a bust under a Gothic arch. The stained glass in the east window is by Kempe and is dated 1908. The two-manual organ was built by Peter Conacher of Huddersfield. The gates and railings of the church were relocated from the former personal chapel of the Salusbury Family at Lleweni Hall after Stapleton Cotton inherited the estate following the passing of his ultimate heir, Sir John Salusbury, father of Hester Piozzi in 1769.
