St John's Church, High Legh

St John's Church features a brick and stone construction with timber framing, including a narthex, three-bay nave, south porch, vestry, and bell tower.

The original 1814 church was destroyed by fire in 1891, leading to Edmund Kirby's reconstruction using the remaining stone walls as foundations in 1893.

The church maintains regular Anglican services within the Diocese of Chester, serving as a central religious gathering point for High Legh residents.

The 1993 extension, further expanded in 2010, contains modern facilities including a parish room, kitchen, toilet, and additional storage space.

A stained glass window depicting Christ and Fishermen, designed by Roy Coomber and created by Pendle Stained Glass, was installed in 2008.
