More about this scene
St Mary's Church is an interesting mixture. The oldest existing part is the 14th century nave. However, this shows signs of expansion later, in alterations in the windows in the clerestory. The south porch is 15th-century, but there is evidence of it being moved to its present position when the tower was built in the early 16th century. This was almost certainly built by Richard Plat, the mason who was responsible for Mobberley church tower, erected at the same time. The chancel was rebuilt by the Stanleys in the 1850s to house the tomb of the 1st Lord Stanley, but it may have replaced an even older 13th- century structure.
