Church of St John the Evangelist, Poulton-le-Fylde, Roman Catholic church in Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire, England.
The church displays a rock-faced red Runcorn sandstone exterior with strong buttresses framing the west front and a bellcote rising above the nave in stripped Romanesque architectural style.
Built in 1912 by architects Pugin & Pugin to replace an earlier 1813 chapel, this church represents the first Roman Catholic place of worship constructed in Poulton-le-Fylde after the Reformation period.
The church serves the local Catholic community within the Diocese of Lancaster, hosting regular worship services and community events while maintaining its role as a center for spiritual life in the town.
Located on Breck Road with accessible pathways and information panels, the church welcomes visitors interested in ecclesiastical history and maintains an active congregation for regular services and ceremonies.
The church interior features an organ gallery with canted balustraded front made from pitch pine and chapels dedicated to Our Lady and St Joseph with green marble and painted stone reredoses.
