English Martyrs' Church, Wallasey, Grade II* listed Roman Catholic church in Wallasey, England

The church structure features brown brick walls, reinforced concrete columns with silver spiral bands, and a curved apse at the eastern end.

The parish began in 1901 with services in a house at St George's Road, followed by a temporary iron structure until the current building opened in 1953.

The interior displays sculptures by Philip Lindsey Clark and contains a relief carving named Angel of Agony supporting the altar slab.

The church operates under the Diocese of Shrewsbury and maintains its presbytery at 8 Gorsehill Road, with regular Catholic services throughout the week.

The church interior combines grey-brown brick walls with silver-colored columns, while cruciform clerestory windows filter natural light across the space.
