Churchtown is one of the oldest villages in Wyre. It has a cobbled square and market cross leading to the church of St. Helen, which is known as the Cathedral of the Fylde.

St.Helen’s dates back to the Norman Conquest and includes architecture from almost every period since then. The Churchgate House was the first vicarage in Churchtown, dating from 1698 when the Reverend Henry Richmond rebuilt it, although there is evidence of an earlier building on the same site dating back to 1190.

The most substantial building in Churchtown is Kirkland Hall. The architect John Carr designed it in 1760.

It was in the previous century that the property had come into the ownership of the Butler family who held the Kirkland estate in succeeding generations until the latter half of the nineteenth century.
