No individual entry found for Longton in the Domesday survey. The entry for this township in the Victoria County History (Lancaster, vol. 6, 1911) notes: "There was probably a chapel at Longton from an early date; perhaps it succeeded that in Hutton of which there is evidence [i.e., a priest at Longton ca. 1150] [...] The old chapel was rebuilt in 1770 [...] and again in 1887, the present dedication being St. Andrew. [...] A circular marble font was given by H. Fleetwood, 1725."
