All
Saints Church
The
church (architects Paley
and Austin) was built in 1870. It was paid for by Thomas
Thornton, and is on the site of his grandparents' cottage,
next to the Village Green. Burton in Lonsdale parish is in
the Bradford
diocese. The first Vicar of Burton was the Rev. Frederick
Binyon (1866-74), father of the poet Lawrence Binyon (1869-1943),
remembered for the lines quoted at Remembrance Day services
from his poem 'For
the Fallen'.
After
a period of fundraising the church clock chimes have now been
restored and work has now commenced on the roof.

Methodist
Church
In
1764 John Wesley journeyed through Burton in Lonsdale and
described it as 'a quiet, loving society'. At that time the
Methodists preached at the old meeting house in Leeming Lane.
The current Methodist church was erected on the High Street
in 1871 and paid for by private subscription.
