Church of St Mary, Grade II listed church in Nelson, England

The Church of St Mary stands on Manchester Road, built from ashlar stone with slate roofs, featuring a nave, aisles, chancel, and west tower with spire.

Construction of the church was completed in 1879, with the architectural firm Waddington & Dunkerley adding the west bay and tower between 1905 and 1908.

The Heritage Trust for the North West invested £250,000 in structural repairs to preserve this Anglican church, which represents local religious architectural traditions.

The churchyard access remains restricted by security fencing, while the building currently stands vacant after serving various community purposes through its history.

The church features a distinctive east window with four lights adorned with quatrefoils and a three-stage tower topped by an octagonal spire.
