This church was built in 1789 on the northern outskirts of Ribchester village. It is a so-called "barn church" because Catholicism was still illegal and so it was prudent to disguise the church as a farm building. Ribchester Alms Houses are just out of shot to the right and the ancient Stydd chapel is a few hundred yards to the North West.
