More about this scene
The ancient church of St Helen, known as 'the cathedral of the Fylde', dates from the 12th century and was once the parish church for Garstang, two miles away. A brass chandelier presented by a local builder after one of the River Wyre's severe floods was stolen about twelve years ago, but it was fortunately retrieved. There is a Norman font and a very old pulpit. In the churchyard are a number of interesting graves, including those of a medieval knight and of one of the Young Pretender's soldiers.
