History
The parish was taken out of the ancient ecclesiastical parish of Leigh against the wishes of the vicar of Leigh Parish Church James Irvine. Irvine was opposed by his patron, Lord Lilford and many of his congregation including James Pownall the silk manufacturer. The vicar of St Stephen's Church, Astley, James Hewlett helped raise funds. The site, south of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, cost £500 (£Шаблон:Inflation in 2014)Шаблон:Inflation-fn, the building, £3,800 (£Шаблон:Inflation in 2014)Шаблон:Inflation-fn, the churchyard fence and church furniture cost a further £500 (£Шаблон:Inflation in 2014).Шаблон:Inflation-fnШаблон:Sfn
Architecture
The church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by E. H. Shellard and built in 1854 in hammer-dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and a slate roof.[2] Nikolaus Pevsner described it as a "Big, rather lifeless, church."Шаблон:Sfn

The bays have three-light windows while the clerestory and chancel have two-light windows. The east window has five lights. The castellated three-stage west tower has diagonal buttresses topped by crocketed pinnacles and a west door.[2]
