St Wilfrid's Church, Ribchester

St Wilfrid's Church features a sandstone structure with a three-stage tower, pointed arches, octagonal piers, and a stone slate roof stretching across its nave.

The church construction began in 1250, with subsequent additions including a chapel and porch in the 14th century and a west tower in the late 15th century.

The interior displays a 14th-century sandstone baptismal font and an oak pulpit from 1636, representing different periods of ecclesiastical craftsmanship.

The church maintains regular services and welcomes visitors to explore its architectural elements, including the Grade II listed sundial in the churchyard.

The church stands on the exact location where the main buildings of the Roman fort Bremetennacum once stood in ancient Ribchester.
