What a lovely church. I wonder if it was built like this or have there been lots of little add on's over the years.

@onewing Thank you Babs for your comment, all I could find out about it history, the present church was increased in size and consecrated on 24 April 1889. The Low Moor Iron Company and the Kaye family were the principal donors:)
