St Cuthbert's Church, Over Kellet

St Cuthbert's Church is in the village of Over Kellet, Lancashire, England.

The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.

History
The earliest surviving parts of the church date from about 1200, but most of the structure is from the 16th century. It was restored in 1863–64 by the Lancaster architect E. G. Paley. During the restoration, the ceiling was removed, the chancel arch was reinstated, the east end was rebuilt, and the seating was increased from 260 to 295. The alterations cost £330 (). It was further restored in 1909 by the successors in Paley's practice, Austin and Paley; this included rebuilding of the eastern bay, and the addition of dormers. ==Architecture==
