*************

Whalley /ˈhwɔːli/ is a large village in Ribble Valley on the banks of the River Calder in Lancashire, England. It was severely damaged by flooding in 2015 and its restoration continues. It is overlooked by Whalley Nab, a large wooded hill over the river from the village. The population of the civil parish was 2,645 at the 2001 Census and rapidly increased to 3,629 at the 2011 Census.^[2]

The main road through Whalley is King Street, which leads through to Clitheroe Road. Neighbouring Whalley are the small villages of Wiswell, Billington, Barrow, and Read. Close by is Downham village and Pendle Hill which was made famous in William Harrison Ainsworth's book "The Lancashire Witches".^[3]

The Church of St Mary and All Saints is an Anglican church in the village of Whalley, Lancashire, England. It is an active parish church in the Diocese of Blackburn. A church probably existed on the site in Anglo-Saxon times and the current building dates from the 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.

A church probably existed on this site in Anglo-Saxon times; there are three well-preserved Anglo-Saxon crosses in the churchyard, as well as fragments from that time in the exterior walls of the current building.^[1] The crosses are protected as Scheduled Monuments.^[2] The "Church of St Mary held in Wallei" was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086.^[3] Its endowment of “two carucates of land free of all custom” has been interpreted as the church being one of the wealthiest in what would become Lancashire.^[4]

Most of the present church was built in the 13th century, replacing a simpler structure which probably consisted of an aisleless nave and chancel.^[5] The tower was added in the late 15th century.^[6] A porch was added to the south of the building in 1844, and one to the north in 1909.^[1] Restorations took place in 1866 and 1868.^[5]
