[1] The Church of St Lawrence in Warslow (grid reference SK086586) is a Grade II listed building.

In 1908 the chancel was extended, pine benches were added and an organ was installed; the modifications were funded by Sir Thomas Wardle and the architect was Charles Lynam.

[1][4][5] The Church of St John the Baptist (grid reference SK056590), a Grade II* listed building, is in Upper Elkstone.

A plaque on the east wall informs that it was "Built under the Care and Inspection of William Grindon of Stonfold", and that it was completed in 1786.

In the early 19th century, when many miners worked at the nearby Ecton Mines, there were two other pubs in the village, the Crewe and Harpur Arms and the Red Lion.

The southern barrow, about 28 metres (92 ft) across, was found to have an inhumation in a rock-cut grave, and another on the old ground surface where there were also flint tools.
