St Mary's Church, Dodleston

St Mary's Church exhibits red sandstone walls and grey slate roofs with a tower featuring diagonal buttresses and a spire within a crenellated parapet.

The base of the tower dates from the early 16th century, while architect John Douglas reconstructed the remainder of the church in 1870 using Perpendicular style.

The royal coat of arms from 1660 on the west wall and the medieval coffin fragment represent significant historical artifacts within the church.

Holy Communion services take place at 11 a.m. on the second, third, fourth, and fifth Sundays of each month at Church Croft.

Marks from musket fire during the Civil War remain visible on the north wall of the tower, providing physical evidence of historical conflicts.
