St Peter's Church, Leck

The stone church includes a nave, north aisle, timber south porch, lower chancel, and west tower topped with an octagonal slated spire.

The original structure from 1610 was a small single-story building, later expanded in 1825 to accommodate both congregation and students from Clergy Daughters School.

The church operates within the East Lonsdale benefice alongside multiple parishes, including St John the Baptist in Tunstall and St Wilfrid in Melling.

The church maintains regular services on first and third Sundays of each month, with additional arrangements for fifth Sundays and religious celebrations.

The churchyard contains nineteenth-century fever graves documenting local disease impact, showing that half of deaths between 1820-1849 were children under ten.
