For over a thousand years there has been a place of Christian worship on the site occupied by the present church. Relics of Saxon crosses can be found in the tower and a cross bearing the Norse legend of Sugurd on one side and the death and resurrection of Jesus on the other can be seen in the churchyard.

The present building dates from 1876 and was designed by Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. It has a highly regarded organ, beautiful stained glass windows, four fine frescoes and a sound system. A legacy enables enthusiastic volunteers to maintain the large Garden of Remembrance.
