History
St Mary's Church was built in 1826, and designed by Father John Hall, a priest from Macclesfield. The presbytery dates from 1830.[2]
Architecture
The church is constructed in red brick, stands on a stone
Virgin Mary.[1] The east end is slightly polygonal. Inside the church is a tripartite screen carried on Ionic columns. The authors of the Buildings of England series comment that, apart from the niche containing the statue, it is similar to a Methodist church of the time.[2] The presbytery also has a doorway with a semicircular head and a radial fanlight.[1] Its windows are sashes.[2]
