Background
History
A church has been on the site since at least 1190, and the present church contains some 13th-century fabric. Almost all the church dates from the middle of the 15th century, when it was built by Sir Ralph Pudsay, the Lord of the Manor of Bolton, and completed in about 1466. The Pudsay Chapel was added in the early 16th century. The tower was restored in 1994.
Architecture
Inside the church the five-bay arcades are carried on octagonal piers. In the south wall of the chancel is a piscina, and in the north wall is a recess, probably for a tomb. The octagonal sandstone font dates from the early 16th century. Its bowl is carved with the coats of arms of local families, and has brass plaques inscribed with texts in Latin. The pulpit contains panels described as "Flemish baroque". There is a ring of six bells; two of these were cast in about 1420 by John Seliok, one is dated 1749 and is by Edward Seller II, and the newest three are by John Taylor and Company cast in 1958, 1973, and 2005 respectively.
