Whalley - Church of St Mary and All Saints

The Church of St Mary and All Saints is of Norman origin but mainly a 13th century building, with Perpendicular additions. There are some fine stalls, misericords (from the nearby abbey), screened family pews and a magnificent organ of 1729. The south porch was added in 1844, but the doorway into the church contains parts of the pillars from the Norman church of the 11th century. The octagonal font of yellow gritstone dates from the 15th century while the oak cover is 17th century.   The nave measures 72 feet (22 m) by 24 feet (7.3 m) and has four bays.. It is in the Early English style. The north arcade has round piers and the south arcade has octagonal piers; all have moulded caps and bases. Grade_II listed building
