A Look Back in Time
All Saints Church was built a long time ago, in 1867 or 1868. A famous architect named E. G. Paley from Lancaster designed it.
What Does It Look Like?
The church is built from strong stone, with smooth, cut stones around the edges. It has a roof made of slate tiles. It's a small church, built in a style called 'Neo-Norman'. This means it looks like old Norman buildings, which were popular a long time ago.
The church has a main area called the nave, which has three sections. It also has a rounded chancel at the east end. There's a small room called a vestry on the north side and a porch on the south side. The windows are all round at the top.
At the west end of the church, there's a small tower for bells, called a bellcote. On the pointed roof part at the east end of the nave, there's a cross decoration. Inside, the church is painted blue. The font, which is a special bowl for baptisms, was moved here from St. Mary's Church in Kirkby Lonsdale. It was made in 1686. You can also see painted boards with the Ten Commandments inside the church.
