St Matthew's Church, Saltney, was in Flint Road, Saltney, Flintshire, Wales (grid reference SJ368654 ).
The church was opened in 1911 as a mission church to the parish church of St Mark, Saltney. [1] St Mark's Church is an Anglican church in the parish of Lache cum Saltney, the deanery of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the diocese of Chester. [2]
St Matthew's was designed by the Chester architect John Douglas and built in brick with lancet windows. It was intended to have a longer nave and a tower at the northwest, but these were never completed. Its plan consisted of a broad nave and a chancel with a south aisle. In the series The Buildings of Wales, Edward Hubbard expressed the opinion that the church was "not impressive externally" although "the interior is more rewarding". [3]
After the church became redundant, it was closed on 4 June 2000. [4] The building was destroyed by fire in December 2008. [5]
