St David's Church

St David's Church is a stone structure with a slate roof built between 1830 and 1833 in the Gothic Revival style. The building features a nine-bay nave, a west porch, and tall lancet windows separated by thin buttresses along its exterior walls.

The church was designed by architects Thomas Rickman and Henry Hutchinson and funded through the Church Building Commission. This government initiative supported church construction during a period of rapid population growth in industrial areas.

The church continues to serve as a focal point for Anglican worship in the Haigh and Aspull communities today. Local residents gather here regularly for services that remain part of their weekly routine.

The church is located on Copperas Lane in Haigh and remains accessible as an active parish church. Visitors can explore the grounds, including the Grade II listed lychgate situated in the churchyard.

The churchyard contains war graves from both world wars, including three service personnel from the First World War and seven from the Second. These graves serve as a local memorial to those lost during the conflicts.
