Summary edit

Description
English: Parish Church of St Mary St Mary's Church at the centre of the village of Newchurch in Pendle is steeped in history.

The current church was built in the 17th century, however it was only completed in 1740. To the East of the porch, up against the South wall, is the alleged grave (carved with a skull & crossbones) of Alice Nutter, one of the famous Pendle Witches. Each year since 1949 the ancient ceremony of Rushbearing is commemorated in August.

There is a procession around the village and the new Rushbearing queen is crowned followed by a service of thanksgiving in the church.
