Background
History
A church was present on the site at the time of the Norman Conquest. Edward I gave the advowson of the vicarage to Vale Royal Abbey. After the dissolution of the monasteries, this was given by Henry VIII to the Bishop of Chester. The west tower dates from the middle of the 15th century and the rest of the church from the 16th century. Restorations were carried out in 1855 by Anthony Salvin, and in 1877 by John Douglas, when the porch and vestry were added.
Architecture
Both chapels contain memorials to local families, In the chancel is an 18th-century chandelier. The octagonal font stands on a plain column and has an ornate Jacobean wooden cover. The two-manual organ was made by Walker in 1951. There is a ring of six bells. Two bells dated 1718 are by Abraham Rudhall II, two dated 1796 are by Thomas & James Bilbie and the other two dated 1875 are by Mears & Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. The parish registers begin in 1576 and the churchwardens' accounts in 1630.
