St John The Baptist's Church, Broughton.
The tower of the church is dated 1533. The rest of the church, which dated possibly as far back as the 14th century, was demolished in about 1823. The nave was rebuilt between 1823 and 1826. The architect for this work was Robert Roper. In 1905-06 the chancel, vestries, and an organ chamber were added by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. At the same time the whole building was restored, and the box pews were replaced by benches.
