St Mary's Church, Tarleton

St Mary's Church features handmade brick construction, stone slate roofs, and large round-headed windows with intersecting tracery along the north and south walls.

Built in 1717 on the site of a former chantry chapel, the church received additions in 1824, including a west porch, south gallery, and upper tower stage.

The interior maintains original Georgian elements with box pews, stone flagged floors, a reading desk, and a west gallery extending along the south wall.

The church opens to visitors during Heritage Open Days in September, with a special annual service called Old Church Sunday held on the fourth Sunday in August.

The rain drain pipe on the east end displays decorative elements featuring the arms of Banastre of Bank and the date 1719.
