notes:-  
 An older chapel of ease to Cartmel Priory was consecrated here 1745, built with a bequest from Myles Burn. Its site is east of the church path just inside the lych gate. The parish was created 1875. The present church was built in memory of her husband, who died about 1888, by Harriet Margaret Hibbert. It was designed by Paley, Austin and Paley of Lancaster, built 1892-94.
