A late Norman church; the South aisle was added in the 13th century and the building probably enlarged again in the 14th century. The church has undergone many such alterations over the years but it is no surprise that many of the details we see today are of the Victorian restoration. However, the many changes over time only add to the significance of this building. The almond-shaped west window is based on the Vesica Pisces, one of the most profound geometrical images of ancient and modern times; it can be compared with the example at Brigham and is a striking and unusual addition. Later modifications include the west gallery of 1930 which again, very happily, continues the tradition of alteration and change to meet the demands of the community. The Communion Rail includes early (c. 1630) elements but it is a pleasure to see box pews surviving as so many other examples disappeared in the nineteenth century. The monuments are spectacular and especially noteworthy is the alabaster tomb of Richard Huddleston and his wife Elizabeth Dacre and the sandstone tomb of Sir John Huddleston and his wife Mary Fenwick. Occupying the widow space behind the alabaster tomb is a monument to Joseph Huddleston and his wife Bridget. At the back of the Huddleston chapel is a memorial slab to Sir Barintyne Huddleston, a nephew of Joseph Huddleston. The most bizarre Huddleston monument is that of ‘Terrible Dick’ the remains of a funeral effigy believed to be of Sir Richard Huddleston who fought at Agincourt. The Font which stands under the east window in the Huddleston Chapel (moved from the doorway during the restoration in 1930 and then most recently in 2016) is early 14th century and bears the Huddleston arms and the crozier of Furness Abbey.
