[Paul Iddon]

St Hilda's Church, Bilsborrow.

Built in 1927, designed by Henry Paley of the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley at a cost of £11,640, St. Hilda's, Bilsborrow, belongs to the last generation of English gothic revival churches. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Garstang, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary the Virgin, Goosnargh, St Lawrence, Barton, St Eadmer, Bleasdale, and St James, Whitechapel, to form the Fellside Team Ministry.

The church is constructed in stone with a slate roof. The architectural style is Free Perpendicular. It has a low tower at the crossing, with a stair turret at its southeast corner, and texts inscribed above the bell openings.

Very nice seeing older, historic architecture still standing and being used. Well done Paul! When I first saw the clock, I wondered if it worked. Later in the video, you showed it does given it show about 15 mins had passed.

Thank you - yeah I was there for maybe half an hour, and I kept the timeline in sync - nothing worse than an end scene twenty minutes before you started!!
