It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Millom, the archdeaconry of Furness, and the diocese of Carlisle.

[2] The church replaced a chapel of ease on the other site of the road, which was built in 1721 and consecrated in 1725.

The plan consists of a four-bay nave with a clerestory, a south aisle, a chancel, and a north vestry.

All the stained glass is by William Wailes, other than a north window in the nave dated 1914 by Powells.

[6] The stone font and pulpit were carved by George Henry Redpath Young of Ulverston in 1854 at a cost of £34.10s having been commissioned by Elizabeth Lewthwaite, gentlewoman of Broadgate.
