St Bede's Church, Widnes, Gothic Revival church in Appleton Village, Widnes, England
St Bede's Church features red sandstone walls, a slate roof, a north tower with gargoyles, and a clerestory with stained glass windows.
The church, completed in 1847 by architects Weightman and Hadfield, was built on land donated by the Dennett family at a cost of £3,000.
The interior contains an 1850 altar attributed to A.W.N. Pugin and arcades supported by round and octagonal columns decorated with religious motifs.
The church maintains regular Mass schedules and conducts religious ceremonies within the Archdiocese of Liverpool's network of Catholic parishes.
The pipe organ, installed in 1979, originated from an Independent Methodist Church and underwent restoration with Heritage Lottery Fund support.
