“This church replaces one of 50 years ago. The first section, comprising the chancel, organ chamber, vestry and side chapel, is completed, the nave of the old church being retained for the congregation until funds permit of the remainder of the work being proceeded with. The outside walls are of red Rainhill stone, the inside being faced with a soft creamy-coloured stone obtained from the neighbourhood of Ormskirk, with red bands promiscuously introduced. The main roof is covered with green Westmoreland slates, and the aisles and vestry with lead. The walls of the chancel are panelled round 10 ft. high to match the screens, all of which are of wainscot oak, and above the altar is a richly-carved triptych, which is to be painted by Messrs. Shrigley and Hunt.”
