St Hilda's Church, Bilsborrow.

Built in 1927, designed by Henry Paley of the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley at a cost of £11,640, St. Hilda's, Bilsborrow, belongs to the last generation of English gothic revival churches. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Garstang, the archdeaconry of Lancaster, and the diocese of Blackburn. Its benefice is united with those of St Mary the Virgin, Goosnargh, St Lawrence, Barton, St Eadmer, Bleasdale, and St James, Whitechapel, to form the Fellside Team Ministry.

The church is constructed in stone with a slate roof. The architectural style is Free Perpendicular. It has a low tower at the crossing, with a stair turret at its southeast corner, and texts inscribed above the bell openings.

I wrote my own lyrics for my visit to Dunsop Bridge. I hope you enjoy it!

Come summer time - you should come here if you can!

Dunsop Bridge is the entrance to the famous Trough Of Bowland - even the late Queen Elizabeth has visited the tiny village of Dunsop Bridge in the Ribble Valley!

With resident ducks and grassy banks it is the perfect place to stop for a picnic or a cup of tea and a cake at the café. Ordnance Survey have declared Dunsop Bridge as the official centre of the British Isles, the famous explorer Sir Ranulph Fiennes unveiled the plaque that verifies this. It is often cited as the geographic centre of Great Britain, although the exact point is at Whitendale Hanging Stones, near Brennand Farm, 4+1⁄2 miles (7 km) north of the village.

The village is at the confluence of the River Dunsop and the River Hodder before the Hodder flows south to join the River Ribble outside Clitheroe. The bridge from which the village takes its name consists of two simple arches which span the river.
