St Matthew's Church, Haslington, Anglican church in Haslington, England.
St Matthew's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Haslington built in brown brick with a slate roof, featuring a three-bay nave, chancel, and a gabled porch facing west. Inside stands an organ built by Steele and Keay in 1900, which received a complete reconstruction by Reeves in 1967.
The building was constructed in two phases with the western section completed in 1810 and the eastern section finished in 1909 by architect Reginald T Longden. This expansion reflects the congregation's growth over nearly 100 years.
The church serves as a community gathering place overseen by the Diocese of Chester and shares pastoral ties with St Michael and All Angels in Crewe Green through a joint ministry arrangement. This connection allows the two congregations to support one another through shared spiritual leadership.
The churchyard surrounding the building is accessible to visitors and provides a peaceful space to explore. It is best to check beforehand if services or special events are happening to ensure the church is open for a visit.
The churchyard contains seven war graves honoring victims from the World Wars, including four soldiers and two naval personnel from the First World War plus one soldier from the Second World War. These burials reflect the local losses from both conflicts.
