Old St Ann's Church, Warrington, Gothic Revival church in Warrington, England.
Description
Old St Ann's Church is a Gothic Revival church building constructed of red brick with blue brick detailing and a slate roof. The southeastern tower features three distinct stages topped with a saddleback roof.
History
Construction took place between 1866 and 1868 under architect John Douglas, with William Beamont financing the project. The building served as a place of worship until its closure in 1995.
Culture
The paintings of the four Evangelists created by Westlake in 1868 decorate the interior and were later retouched by T. Hesketh in 1894. They remain a notable feature of the space today.
Practical
The building now operates as an indoor climbing center and is accessible to visitors, though the interior use has transformed significantly from its original purpose. Check current opening times and access policies before planning a visit.
