Mini 3 St Mary's Church, Penwortham.

[Paul Iddon]

St. Mary's is the parish church of the Ancient Parish of Penwortham and dates from the 14th century. Although located in an urban area its setting is very attractive being in the midst of ancient woodland.

Now almost overwhelmed by urban Preston, the church of St Mary's stands on the wooded site near the remains of a Saxon fortification, overlooking an ancient crossing of the River Ribble.

After the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror gave Penwortham to Roger de Poicteau, and it was perhaps this Roger who was responsible for building the Norman motte which can easily be seen beside the church. The churchyard is accessed by way of a lych gate erected in 1896.

Cheers for watching and commenting Mark, but unfortunaelty these out of the way churches have no custodians on site most of the time, so there was no access possible.

Thanks for watching.

Once more thank you so much Dale - and yes you are correct, the vocalist is Enya - I owe her a few Irish whiskeys for all the audio she lets me use in my flights!

Much appreciate your time watching and comment Darryl - I admit a real liking for Enya's music in plenty of my videos.

Thanks Jim, like most of us, one day of sunshine was all we got to go flying, at least it was worth the shoet trip to the edge of town.

Hi Paul,
I just watched your video of "The Forgotten Church of St John, Whittingham", another beauty.
If you don't mind telling me, what is the video editor that you use?
