Secluded form township and highway in its own green 'ghyll', this treasured little church was founded by the monks who left Barnoldswick to establish Kirkstall. Externally, the wonderful roof, 16th century tower and quiet graveyard merit attention: the interior, with elegant box-pews facing a magnificent 3-decker pulpit, reflects an age when the preaching of the Gospel was all-important – a theme re-emphasised by the beautiful modern cover (work of a young local craftsman) on the 14th century font.
