St James' Church, Wrightington Bar, Anglican church in Wrightington Bar, England
The church features sandstone rubble construction with a slate roof, including a four-bay nave, south aisle, porch, and chancel with lancet windows.
Edward Graham Paley designed this Grade II listed church, which began construction in 1854 and received consecration in 1857 with seating for 400 people.
The church maintains an active role in the Anglican faith within the deanery of Chorley and diocese of Blackburn, serving the local parish community.
Located on Church Lane, the building contains an organ manufactured in 1916 by Jardine of Manchester, with modifications completed in 1985 by Pendlebury.
The St James Players theatre group performs annual plays and pantomimes in the adjacent theatre building, extending the church's function beyond religious services.
