Euxton Parish Church, Grade II* listed parish church in Euxton, England.
Euxton Parish Church is a medieval place of worship built from red sandstone along Wigan Road in Lancashire. The structure displays characteristic liturgical features such as a double piscina and sedilia from its original construction.
The building began as Burgh Chapel in the 14th century and underwent major reconstruction in 1513 under the direction of the Molyneux family. This transformation significantly altered its character and established the form it retains today.
The church maintains regular worship services three times on Sundays and once on Wednesdays, serving as a central point for religious gatherings.
The building offers wheelchair access, hearing assistance systems, and external toilet facilities, with parking available via School Lane. Visitors will find the necessary accommodations for a comfortable visit.
The church porch was added in 1998 using red sandstone sourced from a barn that belonged to former church verger Eli Heaton. This stone links the modern addition to the congregation's local history.
