St Saviour's Church, Ringley

St Saviour's Church is a Gothic Revival church building in Ringley near Bolton, constructed from worked stone with an octagonal tower and a spire. The building displays three tall two-light windows on its west side and preserves its original character.

The original building was founded in 1625 by Nathan Walworth and replaced in 1826 with a new design by architect Charles Barry. This transformation in the Gothic Revival style shaped the appearance preserved to this day.

The church preserves elements from different periods, including old windows and a communion table, showing how the building has evolved over centuries. Visitors can discover these layers of the past while walking through the spaces.

The building is a listed heritage structure and functions as an active Anglican parish church. Visitors should be aware of service times and maintain respectful behavior when visiting.

A separate tower from 1625 stands near the road and bears historical plaques documenting different construction phases. This structure shows how parts of the original building survived even as the church was rebuilt later.
