St Augustine's is a magnificent 19th century building. Designed by George Frederick Bodley it is Grade 1 Listed and is hugely significant in the northwest. Known locally as the 'Miners Cathedral' it stands as the gift of Edward Heywood.
Prominent because of its position and its slender, continental style spire, St Luke's stands on a small green hill and is known locally as 'the church on the hill'. The church's most spectacular feature is the decorated roof over the chancel, and it is blessed with a fine organ.
