Background
History
In 1851 an appeal was opened by Sarah Anne Clarke from Liverpool to build a church in the town. This resulted in a church designed by J. Murray being built in 1852β53. This consisted of a nave, a short chancel, a porch, and a baptistry. It was expanded by T. D. Barry of Liverpool by the addition of a north aisle in 1861, and a south aisle in 1867. A north porch was added in 1904. After the war, the church was improved when the chancel and the south aisle were lengthened, and vestries and a south porch were added by Henry Paley of the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley in 1932β33. The interior of the church was re-ordered in the 1950s.
Architecture
The church is constructed in limestone with sandstone dressings and slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, and chancel with a polygonal apse. At the west end is a bell turret topped by a stone spirelet. Inside the church are five-bay arcades carried on marble piers with sandstone capitals. Also in the church are two pairs of churchwardens' stalls dating from the 20th century, and a wooden font.
