Bellhouse about 10 metres west of Rivington Church

Bellhouse, now a store, is located about 10 metres west of Rivington Church. It is probably from the 16th century and is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with quoins and a stone slate roof. The building is small and square, consisting of one storey raised on a basement. It features a plain basement door on the south side and a raised door on the north side that is accessed by steps. There is a louvred two-light window with a chamfered mullion on each side, except on the north side where the mullion is missing from the south side. Additionally, there is a round-headed louvred window on the north side. The structure is said to have been built to house a large bell that was purchased from the church at Wigan in 1542.
