All Saints, Farnley

The Church

The present building is mid Victorian, but there was a much earlier building on the site. Stones from the old building were used in the rebuilding and parts of the north wall seem not to have been demolished at all. Some archaeologists have detected Roman tooling on some of the exterior stones, indicating that the mediaeval church had itself used stones from a much earlier building. 
The church was rebuilt in 1851: part of the North wall of the 13th C chapel survives. There are the squire’s family seats at the West end, and some 17th C stained glass which was formerly in Farnley Hall, where a drawing of it by J M W Turner remains.
