Description
St Oswald`s Church is in the village of Warton, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church. The present church is probably built on the site of a church in existence prior to the 12th century. It was largely rebuilt in the 15th century. The church has historical connections with the Washington family, ancestors of George Washington, first president of the United States. The church is pebble dashed with sandstone dressings, and has a slate roof. Its plan consists of a west tower, a nave with north and south aisles and a clerestory, and a chancel. The tower has angle buttresses, three-light bell openings, and a battlement parapet with corner pinnacles. The former west door has been partly blocked, making it into a window, and over this is a small niche. The tower is 62 feet 19 m high
