Background
History
A church was present on the site by 1618, and was repaired in 1678. The south aisle and the tower date possibly from 1793. The church was restored in 1897 by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. The restoration included removal of pews, reroofing and reseating the church, and replacing the stone arcade with one in timber. Its estimated cost was £1,000 (equivalent to £|r=-4}}}} as of ).
Architecture
The church is constructed in stone rubble with slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave and a chancel in one range, a south aisle, and a west tower with a vestry to its south. The tower has a west doorway, with a two-light window above it. The paired bell openings are round-headed, and the battlemented parapet has crocketed pinnacles at the corners. There is a clock face on the north side. On the sides of the church are two-light round-headed windows.
