St Alban's Church, Macclesfield

St Alban's Church is a Gothic Revival building from the 19th century with a west tower, tall windows along the upper walls, and two side aisles running the length of the main space. The chancel floor features colored tiles and large windows flood the interior with light.

The building was designed in 1838 and completed three years later, funded by a noble patron who supported the project. This was one of several churches built during a period of religious expansion in the region.

The organ inside came from another church and was moved here during the 19th century. You can also see carved figures from Germany and Flanders that decorate the interior.

The church is easy to reach and has parking nearby along with bus connections to the town center. You can visit regularly and should check opening times before your visit.

The tower on the west side was never finished to its full intended height and remains noticeably shorter than planned. This incomplete state makes the building stand out in the town's skyline.
