St Margaret's Church, Grade I listed church in Hornby-with-Farleton, England
St Margaret's Church features an octagonal sandstone tower with three stages, adorned with gargoyles and an embattled parapet topped with decorative pinnacles.
Sir Edward Stanley, Lord Mounteagle, initiated the construction of the tower in 1514, while the nave underwent reconstruction in 1817 and Victorian modifications in 1888.
The church houses fragments of Anglo-Saxon crosses and contains a memorial to Dr Lingard, a Roman Catholic priest who served at St Mary's Church until 1851.
The Anglican parish church maintains regular services and functions within the diocese of Blackburn, sharing its benefice with churches in Whittington, Arkholme, and Gressingham.
The bell tower contains eight bells, including six cast by Abel Rudhall in 1761 and two produced by the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in 1922.
