Brookfield Unitarian Church, Victorian Gothic church in Gorton, Manchester, England.
The sandstone church features a tall slender broach spire, paired belfry windows, and interior arcades supported by pink polished granite columns.
Built between 1869 and 1871, the church replaced Gorton Chapel and was commissioned by Richard Peacock, an engineer and Liberal MP for Manchester.
The structure represents a Victorian Unitarian ecclesiastical design, with Early English architectural elements and a peal of eight bells named after Peacock family members.
The building received Grade II* listing status in 1974, but currently faces preservation challenges due to water damage and requires substantial restoration work.
The church grounds contain the Peacock Mausoleum, designed by Thomas Worthington, where Richard Peacock and his family members rest in the cemetery.
