Church of St Mary of the Assumption, Burnley, Gothic Revival Roman Catholic church in Burnley, England.
The church features a five-bay nave, clerestory, north and south aisles, transepts, chancel, and an incomplete west tower built in sandstone with slate roofs.
The construction occurred between 1846 and 1849 on land donated by Peregrine Towneley, replacing a smaller chapel that existed at a different location.
The church maintains a two-manual pipe organ from 1855 by Gray and Davidson, which received a Historic Organ Certificate for its significance.
Located on Yorkshire Street, the church operates as an active Roman Catholic parish within the Diocese of Salford, offering regular religious services.
The Towneley Chapel, added in 1879, serves as a memorial to Colonel John Towneley and his son Richard, using materials from the family's local quarry.
