St Francis' Church, Chester, Roman Catholic church in Chester, England.
St Francis' Church stands on Grosvenor Street, featuring red sandstone walls, grey and purple slate roofs, and a distinctive west end entrance with double doors.
The construction process extended from 1862 to 1875, with initial designs by Benjamin Bucknell and completion under architect James O'Byrne's supervision.
The interior includes carefully designed spaces with thick walls containing chapels and confessionals, while a west gallery houses an 1893 Gray and Davison organ.
The church maintains regular services as an active parish within the diocese of Shrewsbury, welcoming both local residents and visitors throughout the week.
The narthex porch features a five-light window and geometric side windows flanking a central niche that contains a statue of Saint Francis.
