The ancient church has been here at the top of the High street for centuries, welcoming local people as well as folk from all over the world.

The first church was built in the early 1100's, possibly made of wood. It was near where the tower now stands. Another church was built about 1300 with help from the monks at Bolton Priory. It was extended further eastwards towards the end of the 1400's, probably helped by a gift from Richard 111.

The tower was damaged during the Civil War, but it was restored in the 1650's by Lady anne Clifford from the castle next door. The tower suffured again in 1853 this time from lightening. It and the roof were repaired soon afterwards.
