St Mary of Furness is a Roman Catholic church located on Duke Street in Barrow-in-Furness, England. The congregation was founded in 1858, however the current building was constructed between 1866 and 1867.

History

It was built with £6,000 donated by Spencer Cavendish the 8th Duke of Devonshire.[1] Designed by English architect E. W. Pugin, the spacious church originally seated 800, but has now been expanded to accommodate around 1,000 worshippers.[1] In 1976 St. Mary of Furness and the church presbytery were granted Grade II listed status by Historic England.[2]

The church's organ contains approximately 3,000 pipes and was originally built by Messrs. Hill and Son for the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society.[1] The spire of St. Mary of Furness wasn't added to the church until 1888, despite being a key component of the original plans.[2]

The church was placed on Historic England's Heritage at Risk register as a result of stone decay to the spire. Repair work was subsequently undertaken in 2015 financed by the Heritage Lottery Fund and Places of Worship scheme.[3]
