The new Church of St Werbugh is in Bent Lane, about half a mile from the medieval church. It is built of Runcorn sandstone in the early Perpendicular style.
The north-east tower contains eight bells. The church cost £9,000 to build, and that cost was borne by the patron, Mr R E Egerton-Warburton. The architect was John Douglas, whose fine work is seen not just in this Church, but also in the Parish Room built in 1889 and the Post OFfice at the corner of Dunham Road built in 1893.
