There was likely a chapel here in the 16th century. Records of a chapel exist from the early 17th century. The first ordained pries was apponted in 1743.

Raymond, Stanley: Story of Lindale Church & church leaflet

story:-  
A window on the north side is a memorial to James Henry Edward Kenneth Deakin, who died young.
The window has the family coat of arms and the motto:-
"Strike Dekyn - ye De'ils in ye Hempe"
Squire Giles Daykin or Dekyn, 15th century, grew flax for a living. His money was kept in a strong box beneath his bed. The local innkeeper overheard two robbers planning to rob the squire by hiding in the hemp in a barn, to come out at night to steal the money. The squire told the squire:-
"Strike Daykin, the devil's in the hemp."
The robbers were caught by a posse of villagers, tarred and feathered, and sent on their way. Leaving a motto.
