List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in Northern England

The Churches Conservation Trust, which was initially known as the Redundant Churches Fund, is a charity whose purpose is to protect historic churches at risk, those that have been made redundant by the Church of England. The Trust was established by the Pastoral Measure of 1968.[1] The legally defined object of the Trust is "the preservation, in the interests of the nation and the Church of England, of churches and parts of churches of historic and archaeological interest or architectural quality vested in the Fund ... together with their contents so vested".[2] The charity cares for over 340 churches.[1] The Trust is financed partly by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and the Church Commissioners, but grants from those bodies were frozen in 2001, since when additional funding has come from other sources, including the general public. In the 12 months ending 31 March 2010 the charity's income was £6,161,653, and its spending was £6,035,871. During that year it had 44 employees, and used the services of 2,000 volunteers.[3] The charity is run by a board of trustees, who delegate the day-to-day management to a chief executive and his senior management team.[4]

The Trust's primary aim is to ensure that the buildings in its care are weatherproof and to prevent any deterioration in their condition. The majority of the churches remain consecrated, and many are occasionally still used for worship. Local communities are encouraged to use them for appropriate activities and events, and the buildings provide an educational resource, allowing children and young people to study history and architecture. More than 1.5 million people visit the Trust's churches each year.[1] As most of the churches remain consecrated, they are used for occasional services where this is practical, and some are venues for concerts and other purposes.

This list describes the 50 churches cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust in Northern England, covering the counties of Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, Cumbria, North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Merseyside, Greater Manchester, and Cheshire,[5] spanning a period of more than 1,000 years. The oldest is St Andrew's Church, Bywell, which dates from about 850; the most recent, Old Christ Church, Waterloo, was built between 1891 and 1894. All but one of the churches have been designated by English Heritage as listed buildings. Some stand in the centres of cities or towns and their functions have been taken over by nearby churches; these include St John the Evangelist's Church, Lancaster, Christ Church, Macclesfield, St John the Evangelist's Church, Leeds, St Stephen's Church, Low Elswick, Church of All Souls, Bolton, and Old Christ Church, Waterloo. Others stand in remote or isolated positions in the countryside. Some fell into disuse because the village they served was deserted, or the local population moved elsewhere; examples include Ireby Old Church, St Mary's Chapel, Lead, and St Thomas' Church, Friarmere. Alternatively the church once served the estate of a country house, as with All Saints' Church, Harewood, Church of Christ the Consoler, Skelton-on-Ure, and St Martin's Church, Allerton Mauleverer. In some cases the churches have only been partially conserved. Only the tower of Old St Lawrence, York, the tower and part of the aisle walls of Christ Church, Heaton Norris, and the tower, chancel and walls of the nave of Old Holy Trinity Church, Wentworth have survived. Most of the churches remain consecrated and are used for occasional services where practical; some are venues for concerts and other purposes. One church still vested in the Trust, St James, Toxteth, Liverpool, which was at one time derelict, re-opened in 2010 for regular worship.

Macclesfield
Cheshire
1775–76 Charles Roe, who played a major part in developing the silk industry in the town, paid for the building of the church. It was one of the earliest to use cast iron for the columns supporting the galleries.

St John the Baptist,
Blawith

Christ the Consoler,
Skelton-on-Ure
North Yorkshire
1871–76 The church stands in the grounds of Newby Hall. Frederick Vyner, the son of the hall's owner, was kidnapped and murdered by Greek bandits in 1870. The money his mother collected for the ransom was instead used to pay for this church in his memory. William Burges was commissioned as the architect.[107][108] I
St Andrew,
East Heslerton
North Yorkshire
1877 St Andrew's was designed by G. E. Street for Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere House. The four statues on the tower were originally intended for the north porch of Bristol Cathedral.[109][110] I
All Souls,
Bolton
Greater Manchester
1880–81 Thomas Greenhalgh, an Evangelical mill-owner, commissioned Paley and Austin to design the church. The nave has no pillars, making it one of the widest unsupported parish churches in England.[111][112][113] II*
Christ Church (old),
Waterloo
Merseyside
1891–99 Built to replace an older church which had become structurally unsound, this was designed by Paley, Austin and Paley. Since being declared redundant it has suffered from neglect and vandalism, but it is now supported by a group known as The Friends of Old Christ Church who organise events and activities.[114][115][116] II*
