A vicar, along with his wife and daughter, are being questioned by police over the suspicious death of a baby boy.
Rev Jim Percival was arrested, together with his 28-year-old daughter, Ruth, on suspicion of murder and conspiracy to conceal the birth of a child.
Police say they are no longer being questioning on suspicion of sex offences.
Rev Percival's wife Susan faces questions only about the alleged concealment.
Officers have been granted an additional 30 hours to talk to them after they were held on Tuesday in Freckleton, Lancashire, where Rev Percival is the vicar of Holy Trinity CE Church.
Officers had been called to a property - thought to be the vicarage - on 25 November, in response to reports that a woman had suffered a stillbirth.
In a statement, Lancashire Constabulary said: "When police attended, the body of a newly-born baby boy was discovered at the address and an investigation was launched.
"The baby's mother, a 28-year-old woman, was taken by ambulance to Blackpool Victoria Hospital where she was treated and later released.
"Following numerous inquiries, the death of the baby boy is now being treated as suspicious. A post-mortem examination has been carried out and the cause of death is currently inconclusive."
One of their neighbours said: "They are a quiet family. I didn't even know the daughter was pregnant."
The Diocese of Blackburn has confirmed it "is aware of the situation regarding Rev Jim Percival and his family" and is working "closely" with police.
