St Oswald's Church, Timber-framed Anglican church in Lower Peover, England.
The church features octagonal oak pillars supporting dark timber beams throughout the nave and chancel, with black and white patterned exterior walls.
The structure dates back to 1269 when Richard Grosvenor established it as a chapel of ease for Great Budworth, receiving its stone tower in 1582.
The interior contains Jacobean box pews, a Norman font from Norton Priory, and multiple memorials dedicated to generations of the Shakerley family.
Located on Crown Lane in Lower Peover, the church remains open daily and offers level access throughout its main areas with nearby parking.
The church houses a 13th-century wooden chest carved from a single oak piece, which according to local tales served as a strength test for potential farmers' wives.
