The current St Michael’s Church Whitewell replaced an earlier church on the site, and the chancel was added in 1896.

The church is in rendered stone with sandstone dressings with a slate roof, and consists of a nave, a chancel, a south porch and a north vestry.

There is a bellcote on the west gable and a cross on the apex of the right gable. The porch contains a doorway with a chamfered surround and a four-centred head.

There are some lovely views at the back of St Michael’s Church across the River Hodder of bowland fells and farmland.
