[1]Denton Church Tower

Denton has a most curious church tower, with evidence of three rebuildings, each quite different from each other. The earliest was a flint round tower, the curved eastern face of which survives, abutting the nave. This round tower fell in the 18th century, and was rebuilt in the late Tudor style, a beautiful red-brick square tower. Finally, the Victorians added a square top stage in flint and freestone.
