St Helen's Church, Waddington

The church dates from about 1500, but only the tower remains from that time. The nave and chancel were rebuilt in 1898-1901 by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. St Helen's is constructed in sandstone with stone slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, short north and south transepts, a lower chancel, and a west tower. The tower is in three stages with a west doorway, above which is a three-light window. The bell openings have two lights, and the parapet is embattled, with pinnacles and gargoyles at the corners. The parapets of the aisles are also embattled. The east window of the chancel has five lights.
