Background
History
Smirke designed the church, which was completed between 1822 and 1824. The Church Building Commission provided a grant of £16,804 (equivalent to £1,510,000 in 2020) to help fund its construction. [A] J. Medland Taylor reorganised the inside of the church in 1895. The neighbouring church of St Stephen closed in 1962, and the parishes amalgamated to form St Philip with St Stephen.
Architecture
The church's interior has galleries on three sides. The stained glass in the east window dates from the middle to late 19th Century; it was designed by R. B. Edmundson of Manchester. In the southeast chapel is a memorial to the First World War by Humphries, Jackson and Ambler, also of Manchester.
