St Paul's Church, Longridge, Gothic Revival church in Longridge, England
Description
St Paul's Church is a parish church built in Gothic Revival style from sandstone. The building contains a five-bay central space, side aisles running the length of the nave, a chancel at the east end, an organ chamber, a vestry, and a western tower fitted with bell openings.
History
The foundation stone was laid in 1886 by Lady Stanley, and the Bishop of Manchester consecrated the completed building in 1890. This consecration marked the opening of a new parish church during a period of growth in the area.
Culture
The interior windows include stained glass pieces created by Kempe in the late 1800s and a later representation of Saint George from the 1960s. These artworks shape how light fills the worship space.
Practical
Sunday and Thursday services are held regularly, and the church operates as part of the local parish structure. Visitors should check ahead for service times, as schedules may vary seasonally.
Did you know?
A three-manual organ built by the renowned maker Henry Willis in 1894 remains in use today. This instrument is a surviving example of Willis craftsmanship from the Victorian era and continues to serve the church's musical life.
