Summary Description

This relatively small but impressively tall Victorian Gothic stone church occupies a small corner plot laid to grass on a square, its west end facing onto New Hall Lane, now the busy A59 leading east out of Preston. The church was built in 1881-3 to a design by James Hibbert in the Gothic Decorated style. The design of the church makes full use of its location, presenting its best façade to the road.
