St Mary's, Edvin Loach

Sir George Gilbert Scott built the sandstone church between 1858-60 for Edmund Higginson of Saltmarshe Castle. It was close to the ruins of the old church which had Saxon origins. It is in his favourite Early English style with a broach spire, western tower with columns supporting the tower internally and polygonal apse. The fittings included a plain octagonal font and plain stone polygonal pulpit with one marble shaft.
