mini PXL 20250720 080520969

Today, 20th July 2025 was the final celebration of the Mass by the Dean of the Cathedral, Fr John Millar. The church/hall was blessed and opened by Thomas Pearson, first Bishop of Lancaster, on May 9 1937. A scheme of church, presbytery, school and parish hall was intended, with a new church and the existing building turned into the hall of the proposed junior school. Only the church/hall and presbytery were completed. The church is a utilitarian brick design with Crittall windows and a slate roof.
