The parish church of St Michael & All Angels church is situated at the end of Church Street, Croston, Lancashire and is situated next to the 17th century bridge over the river Yarrow.

There has been a church in Croston since about 1075. The oldest part of the present church dates from the 13th century, with a 15th century tower, although most of the stonework dates from the 16th century. The church has been repaired and renovated many times over the centuries. The village is prone to flooding and most recently in 2015 the church flooded and damaged the interior and churchyard.

There are many interesting memorials inside the church. Many of the ancient gravestones that once stood in the churchyard are laid flat as paving stones or leant against the wall of the churchyard. To the south, across the River Yarrow, lies the churchyard extension which holds more modern burials including eight commonwealth war graves.
