There are two entries for [Little and Great] Crosby [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/XX0000/great-and-little-crosby/] [accessed 10 September 2014], neither of which reports cleric or church in it. The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 3, 1907) notes: "Although from its name it may be supposed that there had been a chapel at Great Crosby from an early time, the first direct reference hitherto noticed is that quoted above, in 1532. [...] The old chapel of St. Michael was replaced in 1774 by a brick building with a tower. [...] This was pulled down in 1864, though the tower continued to stand until 1880. The present church of St. Luke, on the main road, some quarter of a mile from the old one, was built in 1854."
