St Margaret's Church

St Margaret's Church is a late medieval place of worship in Wrenbury-cum-Frith, built from red sandstone with a broad nave lit by upper windows and a sturdy west tower topped with small corner towers. The structure comprises multiple sections with defensive-style parapets and displays typical English design features.

The building dates to the early 16th century and stands as one of the oldest registered structures in the settlement. Its red sandstone walls survived centuries and continue to shape the village's appearance today.

The church shapes the village center with its prominent position beside the green and serves as a gathering place for the community. Its interior preserves traces of old traditions that continue to influence daily life in the village.

The building stands centrally beside the village green and is easy to reach, with walking paths and the nearby canal in the surrounding area. Visitors can view the church from outside or explore the surrounding locality.

The churchyard holds graves of soldiers from both World Wars, their resting places marking the area's 20th century history. These quiet memorials connect the building to the larger events that shaped the country.
