The parish church of St Michael & All Angels church is situated at the end of Church Street which is off the main road running through the village and is situated next to the 17th century bridge over the river Yarrow.
The village is surrounded by farm land and is situated between the towns of Ormskirk and Preston. In the grounds of the church is a disabled parking area, a choir vestry adjacent to the church and the old village school which is now a village hall which can be rented and used by the community.
The church land continues behind the church and has Bishop Alan Chesters Wood, an area with a wide variety of trees including, horse chestnuts and a small leaf lime. A number of the trees have been planted in memory of people from the village who have died.

That's a very lovely old village church. It has a 15th/16th century look to it but I'm thinking the clock was added on many years later. Looks like a really nice place to visit. Great job Paul.

There has been a church in the centre of Croston for over 1000 years and parts of the current Church dates back to 1230, so has parts dating back to the 13th century with 15 & 16th Century additions.
Original Registers of baptisms 1538-1903 are held by Lancashire Archives .
The present tower clock was installed in 1882 and was dedicated by Augusta Master in memory of her sister Margaret Penelope, who was the third daughter of Reverend Streynsham Master.
