[edit] History
The church was built by Isaac Shaw in 1757–59 for Mary, Countess of Stamford as a chapel of ease to serve the hamlets of Partington and Carrington.[2] A chancel was added in 1872.[3]
[edit] Structure
The church is built in brick with a stone slate roof. The plan consists of a four-bay nave with a small chancel. Each bay has a round-arched window. The chancel has a Venetian window and a hipped roof. Formerly a cupola was on the west end but this has been removed.[3]
[edit] Fittings and furniture
The box pews, including two family pews, are original.[4] The font is based on a marble wash bowl. The wooden reredos dates from around 1872.[3] The church plate includes a flagon and a paten dated 1688–89 and a chalice given in 1739.[5]
