Description: | St Hilary's Church was rebuilt in 1875 by James Fowler, and more important than most of those he was commissioned to do. The church was built to commemorate an incumbent who had died in 1873. It was paid for by his widow and friends. The church has an ornate north-west tower with a saddleback roof. The nave and chancel are wide and spacious and the detail is late 13th century in date. It has a good interior and fittings and the chancel roof is painted and panelled. There is a cancellum screen between the nave and chancel. The altar, according to the 'builder' of 1875, was decorated by Heaton, Butler and Bayne. {1}
