The church of St Hellen in located in the township of Churchtown (formerly Kirkland) about 2 miles south of the main village of Garstang.
The oldest part of the Church of St Helen dates back to around 1200 AD and the near circular shape of the building suggests that it is possibly a pre-Christian site. The first minister was appointed in 1190. The oldest date stone is 1632. St Helen has been referred to as ‘The Cathedral of the Fylde‘
