St Chad's Church, Claughton, Gothic Revival parish church in Claughton, England
The sandstone church features a nave and chancel in one cell, incorporating architectural elements with a slate roof and multiple mullioned windows.
The original church foundation dates to 1070, while the current structure was built in 1815 and underwent substantial renovations by Sharpe, Paley and Austin in 1904.
The church contains a plaque from 1602 displaying the coat of arms of the Crofts of Claughton Manor, who maintained Catholic faith during Protestant rule.
The Grade II listed building closed in 2002 due to declining congregation numbers and the need for extensive repairs to maintain its structural integrity.
The church houses a bell dated to 1296, which researchers consider a candidate for the oldest dated bell remaining in England.
