History
editThe church was built in 1867 (or 1868) and designed by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley.[4]
Architecture
editAll Saints is constructed in stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and has a slate roof.[3] It is a small church in Neo-Norman style.[5] Its plan consists of a three-bay nave, an apsidal chancel, a north vestry, and a south porch.[3][5] The windows are round-headed. At the west end of the church is a bellcote. On the gable at the east end of the nave is a cross finial.[3] The interior of the church is painted blue. The font, which was moved here from St. Mary Kirkby Lonsdale, is dated 1686.[5] Also in the church are painted commandment boards.[3]
