The Church, which is dedicated to St. Michael, was erected by sub- 

 scrixjtion in 1716. In 1840 a north aisle and a beautiful chancel were 

 added to the building, at the cost of the Eev. John Cross, brother of 

 the late Colonel Cross, of Eed Scar. In 1868-9 the body of the 

 Church was re-built at a cost of £3,000, which was also defrayed by 

 the Eev. J. Cross. The Church has a very neat and pleasing appear- 

 ance, and is very well built. The interior is excellent in its proportions, 

 the roof is elaborate and lofty ; and the Church ailords accommodation 

 for 220 people. On the floor of the Church is a magnificent brass 

 plate. It has a rich, gothic canopy, inlaid with shields and orna- 

 mented with allegorical figures, Below are the figures of the late Mr. 

 and Mrs. Cross— the grandparents of the present Mr. Cross — and at 

 the foot there is the following inscription : — " Here He the remains of 

 William Cross, Esq., born 24 July, 1771. Died 4th June, 1827. Also 

 the remains of Ellen, his wife, born in December, 1783. Died 27 

 January, 1849. Their four sons erected this monument." There is 

 an excellent organ in the Chui-ch, re-built by the late Colonel Cross. 



A brass plate has recently been placed in the Church in memory of 

 the late Col. Cross and Mrs. Cross, by the members of their family.
