A well kept secret to many, this picturesque Lancashire village has won a number of best kept village competitions over the years and more recently won the village section of the Royal Horticultural Society Britain in Bloom competition in 2009.At GZ there are a number of plaques dedicated to this.
The nearby church of St Bartholomews has a number of heads carved on a pillar in the north aisle.They appear to be pulling faces and are thought to have been carved in the 14th century. Also inside the church can be found a 12th century piscina in the chancel and a plague stone. A local tradition has it that when a wedding has taken place in the church local children tie the church gates shut.The wedding couple must then throw money to the children in order to get them re-opened!
