History
The church was built in 1909–10, and designed by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley, providing seating for 504 people. It was closed for worship in 1997 and declared redundant on 1 December.
Architecture
Constructed in glazed red brick, the church has sandstone dressings and slate roofs. The church is orientated north–south, its plan consisting of a four-bay nave with clerestory, aisles that incorporate porches in their south ends, and a two-bay chancel. At the northeast corner of the nave is a bell tower, with its narrow side on the south. The lower part of the tower is in brick, and the top stage is stone, with blind tracery on the front and bell openings on the sides. At the centre of the south end of the nave is a tall canted bay containing transomed traceried windows. Above the bay is a chequered stone parapet.
