St Michael's Church		1628	The oldest parts of the church are the body and the porch, the tower being added probably in 1719–22. The chancel dates from 1824 and it was remodelled in 1858 as a memorial to Jeremiah Horrocks. A southeast vestry was added in 1998–99. The tower is in ashlar, and the rest of the church is in brick with diapering, standing on a stone plinth and with a slate roof. Along the sides of the nave are mullioned windows. The tower is in two stages, and has rusticated quoins, round-headed bell openings, an embattled parapet with pinnacles and, on the south side, a painted sundial dated 1825. In the nave roof are dormers, and inside the church are galleries on the south and west sides.	II*
