Overview
Historic England records a sandstone-ashlar church in a simplified Decorated style, with a nave and west steeple, aisles, south porch, north and south chapels, and a chancel with north vestry. The three-stage west tower, embraced by the aisles, carries a tall broach spire with lucarnes that is a landmark on this side of Burnley. Interior fittings include five-bay arcades on low cylindrical piers, an ornate chancel arch, the Shuttleworth chapel to the north and the Dugdale chapel to the south.
The foundation stone was laid on 1 January 1847 by J. P. Kay-Shuttleworth and James Dugdale. The church cost about £5,000 and was consecrated on 17 November 1849 by James Prince Lee, Bishop of Manchester. It is now in the Diocese of Blackburn, in the parish of Burnley West (All Saints with St John the Baptist). Listed Grade II on 29 September 1977 (NHLE 1245007); listing NGR SD8092533488. The east window, on the theme of Creation, is by the Burnley-born artist Brian Clarke.
