So named to distinguish it from the neighbouring mining village of New Arley, Old Arley predates the modern coal industry by centuries. St Wilfrid's church was built in the 14th century and was restored in 1873; see the listing at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1034773?section=official-list-entry .
