The present church is mainly Victorian and was erected in 1886-7 after a fire destroyed an earlier church. The fire was caused by the overheating of the underfloor heating. Only the 15th century tower and Beaumont Chapel remain of this church.
A set of stocks was situated near Dead Man's Gate [the name of the entrance to the church yard through which coffins are carried] The last time these were recorded as used was in 1836.
Also in the chuchyard is the memorial to the 17 young girls who died in a fire at Atkinson's mill at Colne Bridge in 1818. The girls had been locked in while they worked and had been unable to escape.
The grave of John Horsfalll who died in 1624 is believed to be the oldest grave in the churchyard and it is located on the left hand side of the path in front of the church.
This set was taken on a mixture of 35mm film and digital.
