Old churchThe previous church was built in 1887, and designed by the Lancaster architects Paley, Austin and Paley. Two local industrialists donated £5,000 ({{Inflation|UK|5000|1887|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} each to its cost. The church was built in red brick, and was distinguished by having a bellcote at the east end by a tall, slender spirelet. It was also unusual in that it had narrow aisles, forming passages down the sides of the church. The church was built on a coalfield, and subsequently suffered damage from subsidence, which led to its demolition in 1978.{{sfnp|Brandwood|Austin|Hughes|Price|2012|pp=148, 236}} Pollard and Pevsner in the Buildings of England series describe it as having been a "grand" church.{{sfnp|Pollard|Pevsner|2006|p=210|ps=}} Brandwood et al state that the practice designed a number of urban churches around this time, and they consider that this was the most important, with "real character and individuality".{{sfnp|Brandwood|Austin|Hughes|Price|2012|p=148}} Present churchThe new church was converted from a school built in the 1870s. It contains some stained glass dating from about 1889 and from 1923, which was moved from the old church and re-set in the present church.{{sfnp|Pollard|Pevsner|2006|p=210|ps=}} See also{{portal|Greater Manchester}}
