This church is a gem, hidden away on the Fell. Built in 1504, it retains many ancient features and is well worth a visit.
Today we hold services generally every Sunday at 9.30am, predominantly from the Book of Common Prayer, which lends itself to the historic and atmospheric nature of the building.
We are part of an evolving Team of 7 parishes and on a 5th Sunday in the month we hold one United Service which rotates around the Benefice. Please check with the Vicar, Rev'd. Michael Woodcock, beforehand to confirm where the service will be held.
