Claughton (/ˈklaɪtən/ KLY-tən) is a sparse village and civil parish in the county of Lancashire in the north of England, in the Borough of Wyre. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 633.[1] It is sometimes called Claughton-on-Brock to distinguish it from another Claughton in Lancashire in the Lune valley between Lancaster and Hornby.
The village has the Roman Catholic church of St Thomas Apostle and a Roman Catholic primary school – St Mary's. But there is no Church of England presence, which is unusual for a parish in England.[citation needed] The nearest Anglican church is in the neighbouring parish, Barnacre-with-Bonds.[citation needed]
