General notes

The new church replaced a smaller church built in 1765, and the site was given by Major T. Fermor-Hesketh.
The church was designed by the Lancaster architect Henry Paley of Austin and Paley, and built between 1925 and 1926. Plans had been made in 1923 for a church with a spire, which would have cost about £6,500 (equivalent to £370,000 in 2019) but these were scaled back, and the planned spire was replaced by a tower with a saddleback roof.
