St John the Baptist's Church, Bretherton, Anglican church in Bretherton, England
The sandstone building features a slender tower with open sides, decorative buttresses, and a slim octagonal spire reaching into the Lancashire sky.
The church was constructed in 1839 for £1,058 on land donated by George Anthony Legh Keck and received consecration by Bishop John Bird Sumner.
The church maintains a two-manual organ, initially built by Ainscough Organ Builders in 1929 and renovated in 2000 for contemporary services.
The Grade II listed structure contains a west gallery supported by iron columns and provides seating accommodation for 400 people during religious services.
The churchyard preserves a war grave of a World War I soldier from the Loyal Regiment and the final resting place of Sir Harcourt Clare.
