St Matthew's Church, Burnley, Gothic Revival church in St Matthew's Street, Burnley, England.

The limestone structure features a southwest corner turret and follows architectural elements characteristic of the thirteenth century design principles.

The original church from 1879 suffered a devastating fire in 1927, leading to a complete reconstruction between 1929 and 1931 by Henry Paley.

The church maintains Anglican traditions while offering an open policy for baptisms and marriages to members of all Christian denominations.

The rebuilt structure accommodates 620 people and continues to hold regular services throughout the week as part of the Blackburn diocese.

The church houses stained glass windows created by local artist Harry Stammers in 1951, replacing those lost in the Christmas Day fire.
