St Mary's Church, Grade II listed church in Preston, United Kingdom.

St Mary's Church stands in sandstone with slate roofing, featuring a five-bay nave, east and west transepts, and round-headed windows throughout the structure.

The construction of this religious building commenced in May 1836 and opened to the public in 1838 to serve the expanding population of Preston.

The church structure incorporates architectural elements from Tewkesbury Abbey, reflecting the influence of traditional English ecclesiastical design on regional religious buildings.

The building changed its function in 2006 from an Anglican parish church to a conservation center, adapting to evolving community requirements.

The church tower rises in four distinct stages, with the lowest level presenting a round-headed doorway enhanced by detailed stone moulding work.
