The Church
Dates from the late 1770s, though there has been a church here from the Middle Ages, St. Bartholomew’s Church contains a notable 12th century font and 18th century painted boards of the ten commandments and the Lord’s Prayer and the Royal Arms. In the churchyard can be found the tomb of William Billinge, who took part in the capture of Gibraltar, fought under Marlborough and eventually died in 1791, allegedly at the age of 112. The church and the attractive village centre were used in the filming of the later series of I.T.V.s “Peak Practice”
