the ancient parish church of the area, dates back to Norman times, originally serving the scattered farms in the area. The Huddleston family, who, for at least five centuries, owned Millom Castle, next to the church, added the south aisle to serve as their chantry chapel. This aisle houses the 15th century sandstone tomb of Sir John Huddleston and a slightly later alabaster tomb. The figures on the alabaster tomb are identified in the guide book as Richard Huddleston and his wife Elizabeth Dacre. However, research by members of the Richard III Society has shown that the figures are more likely to be Richard’s parents, Sir Richard Huddleston and his wife Margaret Neville half-sister of Richard III's queen, Anne. These ladies were both daughters of Richard Neville, Earl of Warwick, the Kingmaker. The latter was vandalised, probably, in the Civil War. At the west end of the Huddleston aisle is the unusual ‘Fish’ window, in the shape of a fish’s swim bladder. It depicts the Annunciation. The font has been re-sited in the Huddleston Chapel. A toilet and serving area to be installed.

The church has its own churchyard. The church is an attractive venue for concerts and has a fine organ.

Adjacent to the church is the Victorian school.

The church is situated down a short lane beside Millom Castle on the A5093, about a mile north of the town of Millom.
