GV II
Roman Catholic church and presbytery. c.1815-19; altered. Red brick in English garden wall bond (4+1), the south facade rendered, with sandstone plinth and slate roof. L-plan, the church forming a receding wing to the presbytery. Two storeys and attic, with a 2+2 window south facade (to the garden) disguising the church as part of the house: the latter has a round-headed doorway offset right of centre, and 2 windows on each floor, all sashed without glazing bars, whereas the church, continued to the right, has 2 blind windows on each floor (all these windows with raised sills and plain reveals). The effective entrance front is the north side: here the church is a plain wing with a large round-headed window in the re-entrant side, a small early C20 tower-cum-porch at the north gable, and 3 round-headed windows in the east side wall; and the presbytery has a small C20 lean-to porch in the centre, a round-headed stair-window above this with radiating glazing bars, two 16-pane unhorned sashed windows on each floor, with raised sills and wedge lintels; and a single-storey extension at the west end. INTERIOR: the church has a north gallery on 2 cast-iron columns, a round-headed sanctuary arch, a coved oval ceiling to the sanctuary, and a tetrastyle Corinthian reredos with giant semi-columns. Forms group with Burscough Hall Farmhouse approx. 20m west (q.v.).
