St Michael's Church, Whittington

St Michael's Church features a four-bay nave, north and south aisles, a chancel with an organ chamber, and a west tower with diagonal buttresses.

The oldest section of the church is the tower from the early 16th century, while the main structure was reconstructed in 1875 by architects Paley and Austin.

The church maintains an active Anglican congregation within the deanery of Tunstall, archdeaconry of Lancaster, and diocese of Blackburn, serving the local community.

The church contains a two-manual organ by Abbott and Smith, along with six bells, with the oldest bell dating back to 1739.

A sundial from 1641 stands in the churchyard, and a millennium mosaic created by Maggie Howarth marks the entrance to the church grounds.
