The Church was built by Edmund Kirby between May 1878 and May 1884 at a cost of £12,000. It is constructed of Sandstone rubble with slate roofs. It comprises a western Tower, 165 feet high, with Spire, Nave with Clerestory, north and south Aisles, south main Porch and minor Porch, lowered Chancel, north Chapel, south Chapel and south Vestry.

The Tower has angle buttresses and corner pinnacles, a bell stage with trefoiled lancet openings and a 4-light west window with traceried head. The stone Spire has lucarnes.

The Nave is of five bays. The Clerestory windows are triple stepped lancets, The Aisles are lit by trefoiled lancets, mostly paired, separated by buttresses. The main Porch has a moulded pointed outer doorway. At the east end of the Chancel is a Rose Window.

Until the opening of Our Lady and All Saints in 1884, the Catholics of Parbold and Dalton, who numbered about a hundred, belonged to the Wrightington mission. The services there were few, and in a report to the Bishop in 1855, the priest who served there from 1850 to 1891 wrote “Not registered for marriages, is a private chapel. No Via Crucis, no processions, no organ or music of any description”.

Music: VOCES8 - Pie Jesu from 'Requiem Novum' by Mårten Jansson.

I liked your video. Two things stand out.

1. You put the history in your message, not a narrative in the video. Well done.
2. Your closing shot panning the camera down to the sidewalk, presumably inviting the viewer in. I would have reversed that shot, but I still really like what you did there.

Okay…. three things.

3. Your music fit perfectly.

A great job and thanks for sharing.

Sometimes you need to try it both ways and one will stand out. Sitting at my editing desk right now and ready for this break!

Thanks Darryl .

The house is the former priory, but nowadays there is a small business running from there.

The priest lives in Parbold near by, but he presides over three churches in the local parish apparently...
