The old church of St Mary ('old' to distinguish it from the Victorian church Holy Trinity nearby) is an early Georgian brick building which may stand on the site of a Tudor chapel. St Mary's has been called 'picturesque', though 'peculiar' might be equally appropriate.

A beautiful medieval church dating largely the 15th century, St Oswald's is known for its association with the Washington family, whose most famous descendant was George Washington, first president of the United States. The Washington family coat of arms, in the church tower, was the inspiration for the US flag.

It seems likely that a church stood in Whalley in the Saxon period, a suggestion supported by three Saxon crosses standing in the churchyard. These date from the 9th-11th centuries. There are other fragments of Saxon crosses built into the church walls.
