Our Church

Your parish church serving the communities of Halton & Halton Moor

St Wilfrid's Church offers vibrant colourful Anglo-Catholic family-friendly worship with Communion every Sunday. We are part of the Diocese of Leeds in the Church of England. We have a thriving Sunday School, which meets every week apart from the first Sunday of each month, when we worship together in our All-Age Eucharist.

All are welcome to join us at our services, particularly if you have never been to church before.

As the Coronavirus pandemic continues to affect us, our usual pattern of services and opening has been suspended.

We have had to make the decision to close both our church buildings during this third national lockdown, for the health and safety of everyone. We are currently meeting for online worship at 10:30 on Sundays on our Facebook page :

We will be continuing to live-stream daily prayer at Midday on Mondays and Wednesdays. You can follow along by getting the C of E app Time to Pray, or visiting their website.

Our historic building

Visit us!

St Wilfrid’s has the only original entirely wooden spire in the UK, which retains its original wooden shingles & frame.

Our striking and beautiful church building, bridging the gap between Arts & Crafts style and Modernism, was completed in 1939, was designed by Arts & Crafts architect, Albert Randall Wells and features sculptures by Eric Gill and others.

The stone church is impressive in structure, with many large windows giving a beautiful, bright and spacious interior.

We are usually open for visitors on the first Saturday of every month from 10am – 2pm, after our Sunday 9:15am Communion service until 12:30, and from 11am – 12:30pm on Tuesdays. We hope this pattern will resume after Cornonvirus.
