St Wilfrid's is a Roman Catholic church dating originally from 1793, but rebuilt 1879-80. Somewhat unusually, the church lies parallel to, instead of being at right-angles to, the street and does not have a surrounding green space or a spire to make it more distinctive. It is a grade II* listed building (English Heritage Building ID: 391946 http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-391946-church-of-st-wilfrid-lancashire British Listed Buildings)
