History

St Margaret's was built in 1911–13, and was designed by the Lancaster architects Austin and Paley. [2] In 1939 the same architects added a vestry and offices to the church. [3] [4] Its interior was subdivided in 1982 to form separate rooms at the west end. [5]

Architecture

The church is constructed in stone, with a plan consisting of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a southeast porch, a chancel, and a southeast chapel with a canted east end. [5] The tracery in the windows is in free Decorated style. [3] Inside the church, the arcades are carried on alternate round and octagonal piers. The reredos dates from 1954 and contains mosaic and opus sectile . The stained glass includes the east window of 1937 by James Powell and Sons, a window on the north side of the church depicting Saint Margaret dated 1966 by Edith Norris, and a double window on the south side dating from 1921 by Humphries, Jackson and Ambler.

This partnership continued until Edward Paley's death in 1895.
