Bispham Parish Church (All Hallows)

Bispham Parish Church, also known as All Hallows, was built in 1883 by John Lowe of Manchester. It is the third church on this site, which served as the only church in Blackpool until 1821, and it includes fragments of early 12th-century masonry. The church is constructed of stone with slate roofs and features a nave, chancel, and west tower, all in a minimally Early English style.

The tower has angle-buttresses, a stair turret on the north side set on squinches, three belfry louvres on the east side parapet, and pinnacles. The nave consists of five bays, is buttressed, and has a gabled porch at the west bay, with a pair of single-light cusped windows in each of the other bays. The chancel includes transepts, with the northern transept being very short; each transept has two pairs of similar windows and a round trefoil window in the gable. The east window is a triple light.

The south doorway is a restoration from 1883 of a Norman original and incorporates fragments of the original masonry, including two pairs of scalloped capitals on each side and an uncertain number of chevron-patterned voussoirs in the outer band. The middle band features raised chevrons with carved signs of the zodiac, which are a Victorian interpretation of signs believed to have been found carved on the originals when the whitewash was removed.

Inside, the church has a king-post roof on arched braces that rise from wall posts supported by stone corbels. The ground floor of the tower wall includes an ancient piscina hewn from a square block, with a round arch above it that has hollowed spandrels. The north transept features a painted wooden Commandment Table on the west wall.
