This church has an interesting history, with lots of stories of determination and conflict woven in. Since its consecration in 1866 it has been in the Anglo-Catholic tradition, and in the early days people traveled by train to witness its Services.

Haydock, originally a mining village, lies about half way between Liverpool and Manchester, close to the intersection of the M6 motorway and the A580 East Lancashire Road. The church is quite easy to find - it's on the main road through Haydock itself, about half a mile east of the local Tesco store.
