The tower of Maghull Church is visible to the north as the canal rounds a bend. The tower belongs to the church of St Andrew, built in 1880. However, hidden away in the church grounds are the remains of a 13th century chapel - a reminder of when Maghull was just a small village. This had been a chapel of ease when Maghull was part of the parish of Halsall. What is left now is the chancel and side chapel, the nave being replaced with a larger brick nave, which was demolished when the 1880 church was built. [More information on this external site.]
