Catholic Church of St Oswald and St Edmund Arrowsmith, Roman Catholic church in Ashton-in-Makerfield, England.
The church building features a bell tower with a green copper pyramid roof and exhibits Romanesque architectural elements inspired by churches of southern France.
The initial Catholic chapel was built in 1822, while the current structure, designed by J. Sydney Brocklesby, opened its doors in September 1930.
The church contains excellent Arts and Crafts stained glass windows created by Harry Clarke from Dublin and displays high-quality stone carvings throughout the building.
Located on Liverpool Road, the church maintains regular worship services and welcomes visitors interested in viewing its architectural features and religious artifacts.
The church houses a sacred relic known as the Holy Hand of St Edmund Arrowsmith, preserved in a silver casket since his martyrdom in Lancaster in 1628.
