St Paul's Church, Adlington

St Paul's Church is a church building in Adlington built from yellow stone with red stone trim, containing a five-bay nave, side aisles, and transepts. The roof is covered with Welsh slate and clerestory windows set high in the walls bring extra light into the interior.

The building was constructed in 1884 as a new church serving Adlington. It was later recognized as a building of historical interest and received protected heritage status.

The stained glass windows inside come from different periods, with some created by Morris & Co in the 1890s and others added later by A F Erridge. These pieces of coloured glass shape how light fills the interior and create different moods throughout the day.

The church sits on Railway Road in Adlington and is easy to locate. Visitors should check opening times and behave respectfully inside places of worship.

The bell tower houses eight bells from John Taylor & Co cast across different years. These historic bells create a distinctive sound that marks important moments for the local community.
