St Andrew's Church, Slaidburn

The sandstone structure includes a nave, chancel with clerestory, north and south aisles, a west tower, and a north porch with stone slate roofs.

While records indicate a church presence since Norman times, the current building dates from 1450 with notable modifications during the 17th century and east wall reconstruction in 1866.

The interior features a collection of period woodwork, including early Georgian pew boxes, a Jacobean chancel screen, and a triple-decker pulpit from 1740.

The church maintains regular Anglican services within the deanery of Bowland and shares its benefice with St George in Dunsop Bridge, Lancashire.

The five-stage west tower contains six bells, all cast at different times at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London, with five created in 1843.
