St Mary's Church, Fleetwood

The seaside town of Fleetwood was planned in the 1830s by local landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood. St Mary's Church, designed by E. W. Pugin,[2] was built 1866-67 by T. A. Drummond of Fleetwood, costing £4,000.[1][3] This is equivalent to £357 thousand in present-day terms.[4] The foundation stone was laid on 17 May 1866 by Alexander Goss, the Bishop of Liverpool,[3] and the church was consecrated by Bishop Goss in November 1867. In 1978 the church was designated a Grade II listed building.[1]

St Mary's is constructed of rockfaced stone with ashlar dressings and has deeply pitched roofs of slate.[1] Its plan consists of a nave and chancel combined under one roof, low north and south aisles with lean-to roofs, and a polygonal apse. There is no tower.[2] The west wall has two large windows, each with three lancets; between the two is a niche containing a figure of Jesus Christ.[1][2] The windows in the aisles have large two-light lancets and cinquefoils. The clerestory windows above are quatrefoil oculi.[1]
