St Mary's Church, Congleton, Roman Catholic church in Congleton, England

St Mary's Church is a Roman Catholic place of worship in Congleton built on a stone foundation with red brick walls and a slate roof. The front features a niche containing a statue of the Virgin Mary positioned above the entrance.

The church was built in 1826 following designs by Father John Hall from Macclesfield. It received Grade II listed status in 1975 due to its architectural importance.

The interior features a three-part screen held up by Ionic columns, showing how religious buildings were designed during the early 1800s. This layout shapes the way worshippers experience the space when entering.

The church sits on West Road and is easy to locate in town. Visitors will find that an adjoining presbytery from 1830 stands beside the main building, adding to the overall historical character of the site.

The building resembles Methodist chapels of its period, yet stands apart because of the Virgin Mary statue displayed on its front wall. This religious marker was unusual for Methodist structures and signals its Catholic purpose.
