The present St. Leonard's Church was consecrated in 1880.  It was built in the centre of the parish to replace the original church at Old Langho.  The reason for re-locating the parish church was because the population had grown and was more concentrated around the route taken by the railway in the villages of Billington and Langho.

The original church, at Old Langho one mile North West of Langho, was reputedly built using stones from Whalley Abbey. Our parish uses this church several times each year for special services.

St Leonard's at Old Langho, built 1557, is administered by The Churches Conservation Trust.
