St Michael and All Angels Church, Altcar

The wooden church features half-timbering on a brick base, a red tile roof, and a bell turret positioned on the western gable end.

Prior to the current structure built in 1879, a church documented in 1429 stood at this location until fire destroyed it in the 1740s.

The reredos displays painted tiles depicting Christ with Cleophas and Mary, accompanied by representations of St Michael and Euphrasia on each side.

The church conducts Parish Communion services every Sunday morning at 9:30, followed by refreshments for the congregation and visitors.

An oak lych gate from 1879 marks the churchyard entrance, which contains memorial graves including those of World War II and Afghanistan conflict servicemen.
