Background
History
The church replaced a "tin tabernacle" that was sold for £150 and moved to Hassall Green, where it survives as St Philip's Church. The new building was constructed between 1894 and 1896 by the Lancaster firm of architects Austin and Paley, the church having been designed in 1884 by Hubert Austin. At this time only the east bay of the north aisle was built. The aisle was completed in 1936–37, at which time the architect was Henry Paley. It had been planned for the tower, which rises only to the height of the nave, to be higher and for a spire to be added, but this was never achieved.
Architecture
Between the nave and the aisle are five-bay arcades carried on elliptical piers. On the north side of the chancel is a two-bay arcade. In the south wall of the chancel are a sedilia and a piscina. The reredos and chancel screen date from 1926. The font is square with chamfered corners.
