St Cuthbert or St John the Baptist (medieval)
Parish church
In 1860 Whellan wrote that the church of Nether Denton was ‘a small unpretending structure’. Between 1868 and 1870 the church was rebuilt on the same site. In 1941, during clearance work in the churchyard, a stone cross carved with a figure in full-length attire was found embedded in the soil. This is now set up on the W interior wall of the nave.
