St Hilda's was built in 1926–27, and designed by Henry Paley of the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley at a cost of £11,640 (equivalent to £ in ).

The church is constructed in stone with a slate roof. The architectural style is Free Perpendicular. It has a low tower at the crossing, with a stair turret at its southeast corner, and texts inscribed above the bell openings. Inside the church, the pulpit is decorated with carvings of vines. The stained glass includes two windows by Shrigley and Hunt dating from the 1960s or 1970s. The two-manual pipe organ was built in 1938 by Wilkinson of Kendal. There is a ring of eight bells, all cast in 1949 by Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry. See also
