Full Description

Brick church of 1887. (1)
Established as a mission church and built in 1887 to designs by the Manchester Architect J. Medland Taylor. The land was donated by the Duke of St Albans and the colliery company, each paid £600 towards the costs. The building is a good example of a modest church by this architect with an exposed timber roof, stained glass of some quality and furnishing with local associations. (2)
