St Oswald's Church, Preesall

St Oswald's Church is an Anglican church building in Preesall constructed from red brick with sandstone accents throughout. The structure features a slate roof, a bell turret topped with a short spire, and numerous pointed-arch windows that define its external appearance.

Construction began in 1896 and was completed in 1899 with designs by architect Hubert Austin. The building received Grade II listed status and has remained an important part of the community since its completion.

The church maintains regular Holy Communion services on first and third Sundays, while its parish hall hosts Saturday worship sessions for community members.

The church is located on Lancaster Road in Preesall and features a Garden of Remembrance and meeting spaces for community use. These facilities make it suitable for ceremonies, gatherings, and local events throughout the year.

The interior combines red brick walls in the nave with Runcorn sandstone facing in the chancel area. Stained glass windows made by Shrigley and Hunt add a distinctive character to the space.
