Warburton New Church

By the late 1880s Warburton Church was in need of repairs and rather than try to remodel it, Rowland Egerton-Warburton financed the building of the New Church which opened in 1885, at the cost of £9000. The architect was John Douglas, who also designed the Parish Rooms, the Post Office and the Village School. 
At the insistence of the vicar, Revd George Egerton-Warburton even in its dilapidated condition, the Old Church was not demolished. Despite the ravages of dry rot and death watch beetle, it still stands today.
