"A good example of a mid 20th century Catholic church designed by the Manchester-based ecclesiastical architects Reynolds & Scott, who built a great number of Catholic churches in the post-war years. The church was built in 1950-52 by the builders G. Duxbury & Sons and is a buff brick building in a stripped back Italianate style, with a broad west tower that dominates the streetscene, it is a local landmark."
