History
The present church dates mainly from the 15th century, although it contains possible remains of older fabric and a re-set 12th-century doorway.[2] In 1853 the church was restored, and a porch was added, by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley in memory of his father who had been the vicar of the church between 1812 and 1839.[3] A further restoration was carried out in 1858 by the same architect.[4]

Interior
Inside the church the arcades are supported by octagonal piers. The church contains a monument dated 1713 with Ionic pilasters, a broken pediment and a hatchment.[2] The two-manual organ was made in 1903 by Abbott and Smith of Leeds, and was restored in 1990 by Principal Pipe Organs.[5] There is a ring of eight bells. The oldest and heaviest five bells date from 1788 and were cast by Robert Dalton, one bell dates from 1887 and is by John Warner & Sons, and the latest and lightest two bells were cast in 1950 by Gillett & Johnston.[6]
