More about this scene
A beam from the year of the Spanish Armada was found in the remains of the old church. The tall tower is all that remains of the 17th-century church, for the main part was rebuilt in the 19th century. Records show that one vicar buried eleven plague victims - he himself died from plague the next month. At St Michael's church one privilege the vicar had was to collect salmon from the baulk on the River Cocker on the first tide after the full moon. On the seashore at nearby Pilling ancient gravestones were found.
