The existing St Michael and All Angels Church, Altcar, is the third church built at the same site after the first was burned down and the second was demolished. This half-timbered church is especially quaint and charming in its appearance, topped with a bell turret on the western gable and surrounded by green fields. The church was constructed in 1879 and has undergone very little change since. The painted tile reredos still exist, as does the 1885 stained-glass window featuring a fine illustration of the baptism of Jesus. Apart from regular services, every year the church welcomes spring with a series of special services and events that are open to all who wish to join in.
