Dist:0.6km<br/>It is assumed (http://www.gisburn.org.uk/gisburnvillage/church_history.htm ) that the foundations of the present church could have been about 1135 although it is possible that there was a church on this site before this There is evidence ’the Rector of Gisburne Church was present at the laying of the foundation stone at Salley (Sawley) Abbey in 1147’. Large cylindrical pillars at the front of the church have been dated as being of 12th century origin . The Church has been restored on more than one occasion. The upper part of the tower is 14th century, the porch is 15th century and leads to the south doorway which is 13th century. It is thought that a major restoration was carried out in the late 16th century, Part of the archways originated from the Sawley Abbey after the Dissolution. A further restoration took place in 1872. http://www.gisburn.org.uk/gisburnvillage/church_history.htm Gisburn Village web site
