Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael, built in 1842 and enlarged in 1851, is located on Church Road in Weeton with Preese. It is constructed of red brick with stone dressings and features a slate roof with a bellcote at the west gable. The church is designed in a very simple Early English style, consisting of a nave with a north porch and a chancel with a south vestry. The nave has four bays, each with coupled lancets, except for the third bay which has a gabled porch with a two-centred arch. The west window is a stepped triple lancet, providing entrance to the basement boiler room below. The slightly lower chancel has one bay with similar windows and a small gabled vestry on the south side.

Inside, the church features an arch-braced and strutted kingpost roof made of stout timbers. It retains original pews with numbered doors, along with a wooden minister's desk and pulpit that match in style, both adorned with simple Gothic traceried panels. The west end, raised over the basement, has a similar panelled rail and a small square organ made by T. and C. Lane from Earl Shilton, Leicestershire. On the south wall, a framed parchment commemorates the laying of the foundation stone on September 29th, 1842, by Thomas Clifton Esq. of Lytham Hall, with public subscription on a site granted by the Earl of Derby. Additionally, there is a decorated brass memorial tablet dedicated to the 15th Earl of Derby, erected by his servants in 1893, and painted commandment tables flanking the east window. The church is listed as a well-preserved example of its type and period.
