St Wilfrid's Church, Grappenhall

The old church was demolished and a new nave, chancel, north aisle and a west tower were built.

[4] In 1833 the roof of the nave was raised to form a clerestory and in the 1850s the south aisle was further extended, and a vestry was built.

[5] There was a more substantial restoration in 1873–74 by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin, which included the provision of new floors and roofs, at a cost of about £4,000.

[1] Included in the internal fabric of the wall of the south aisle is a remnant of a Norman corbel table decorated with crudely carved human heads.

Inside the church are a holy table dated 1641, and the royal coat of arms of Queen Anne.

[1] The reredos is carved in oak and is based on the painting of The Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci.

The font dates from the Norman era, or earlier, and was rediscovered in March 1873 during the restoration of the church.

[12] At set of stocks at the entrance to the churchyard, also listed at Grade II, have endstones probably dating from the 17th century.
