Westwood Moravian Church, Moravian church building in Westwood, Oldham, United Kingdom
The church features pinnacled piers that frame a gabled entrance bay, with round-headed arches adorning the doors and windows of the structure.
Established in 1865, the Westwood Moravian Church opened its new building in 1869 after the original structure became insufficient for the growing congregation.
The church maintained strong connections with the Moravian traditions, which originated in the 15th century Czech Republic and emphasized simplicity in worship practices.
The building served its Moravian congregation until 2005, when the community relocated to Royton, and the structure now houses the Firwood Church.
The church received an organ in 1873 for £100, later replaced in 1903 by a George Benson design with multiple manuals and stops.
