A stone-built former railway goods shed, adapted for Catholic use in the 1960s as overspill accommodation from Hornby.

*Update: The church has closed*

The building is a former British Railways goods shed, built in the late nineteenth century, which was acquired to ease overcrowding at St Mary’s, Hornby (qv). Seating 80-100, the building was converted to church use by G.W. Cassidy of Cassidy & Ashton, Preston (Lancaster Guardian, 21 June 1963). It was blessed and dedicated by Bishop Foley of Lancaster in December 1963. The oak altar was made by P. Foxcroft of Wray.

This is a small and attractive stone-built structure with narrow round-arched windows and a hipped slate roof. There is a modern porch and window above, added at the time of conversion to a church.
