St Catharine's Church, Scholes, Gothic Revival church in Scholes, England
St Catharine's Church features a tall steeple with an octagonal spire, supported by corner buttresses and includes triple-lancet windows with a clock face.
Edmund Sharpe designed this Grade II listed building in 1839, completing construction in 1841 at a cost of £3,180, equivalent to £370,000 in modern currency.
The church maintains strong connections with St Catharine's C of E Primary School, integrating religious education into the daily lives of local students.
Located at Lorne Street in Scholes, the church functions as an Anglican parish within the deanery of Wigan and the diocese of Liverpool.
The structure stands on a geological fault, which led to stability issues due to local coal mining activities, requiring significant restoration work in 2012.
