Foxley Hall, the home of a cadet branch of the ancient Booth family, before ownership passed to the Carlisle family, is no longer standing, but fustian cutting cottages on Church Road and Arley Grove do survive. The Parish Church of St. Peter, Oughtrington is an example of Gothic Revival architecture. St. Mary's Church, Lymm, nearby Lymm Dam was in a state of disrepair by the middle of the 1800s so the Leigh family commissioned the noted Newcastle designer John Dobson to renovate it. The 1521 tower was preserved and raised, though the necessity for added stonework rendered the tower being restored in 1887. Lymm Cross, typically known just as 'the Cross', is a Grade I listed structure. A 24-hour live cam looks over the landmark. Additional cams are strategically located around.
