notes:-

There has been a church here since before 1170, there is a record of its being attached to Shap Abbey at that date. It was its own parish by 1291. An earlier church was pulled down and replaced by a new building, 1726-27. There was extensive restoration in 1885: new roof, new tower and chancel arches, rebuilt chancel, and numerous fittings.
