Background
History
The village developed with the growth of the salt industry in nearby Winsford and it was decided to have a church in the village. The church was designed by John Douglas and the foundation stone was laid in 1876. In 1877 St Stephen's was established as a separate parish and the church was consecrated on 16 January 1877 by Dr William Jacobson, Bishop of Chester.
Architecture
The church is built in yellow sandstone with red sandstone ashlar dressings and has a green slate roof with a lead spire. Its style is Gothic Revival. The plan of the church consists of a nave and chancel with a north-eastern transept, a south-eastern vestry and a southwest porch. In the church is a plain sedilia. The stained glass in the east window is by J. C. Bewsey. Elsewhere there is a millennium window by R. N. Bradley. The organ was built in 1876 by Henry Bevington and Sons.
