St John the Baptist's Church, Broughton

It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Preston, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn.

Its plan consists of a five-bay nave, a north porch, a chancel with an organ chamber to the south, and a west tower.

The tower is in three stages with diagonal buttresses, an embattled parapet and a southwest stair turret.

In the top stage are three-light louvred bell openings, and small gargoyles near the corners.

In the gable of the organ chamber are re-set stones dating from the 16th century carved with the shields and initials of local families.

[3] The three-manual pipe organ was built in 1906 by Henry Ainscough of Preston at a cost of £800 (equivalent to £109,000 in 2023).

It consists of an octagonal pedestal on a square base, with a brass plate and a scrolled gnomon.
