Summary Description

A large Victorian Gothic town church of stone, in the style of a “Commissioners” church but with a quite different history and generally more architectural detail. It was built 1836-9 to designs by Richard Lane of Manchester. The chancel was added a few years later in 1846. It was clearly a relatively expensive job, and the quality of the remaining furnishings and fittings confirms this impression.
