Church Of St Elizabeth

The Church of St. Elizabeth is a Grade II listed building located on Bolton Road in Aspull, built in 1876 by architects James Medland Taylor and Henry Taylor. It is constructed of common brick with red brick and stone dressings, topped with a slate roof featuring decorative bands. The church consists of a single vessel nave and chancel, with a south aisle under a lean-to roof, a west baptistry, and a chancel that includes a south organ loft (noting that the ritual west is actually the south).

The nave has four bays and features a blind arcade to the north, with lancet windows that have plain openings, paired to the east. There are three large buttresses supporting the structure. The clerestory includes a sill band and pairs of paired lights. The west end is made of brick and has four lights on a sill band, with a central blind light featuring a brick calvary cross. The pointed entrance is located to the south and is topped with a gablet. A wheel window is flanked by flat gabled buttresses with tracery and a check work apex. The aisle has three lancets on the west side that step up the roof slope, along with paired lights and one large buttress, and a lean-to porch.

The gabled organ loft has two lights and a sexfoil under a hood mould, with a buttress to the right. The east gable of the nave features crow stepping and an octagonal bell turret with an open timber stage and a slate spire. The chancel is two bays long and has a three-light east window, with north and south windows containing three cusped lights. The north-west bay includes three stepped lights under a relieving arch, and there is a vestry situated at the angle of the chancel and organ loft.

Inside, the arcade is supported by round stone piers and features an arch-braced king and queen post roof. The walls display polychrome brick patterns. The west end has two arched bays leading to the vestry and baptistry. The round font is adorned with roundels and a frieze on a round pier with flat buttresses. The chancel arch is decorated with water leaf capitals on round brick shafts. There is a low wall with traceried arcading and a canted front to the pulpit, along with a wrought iron rood. The roof is boarded and arched. The arch leading to the organ loft and two sedilia are located to the south, with a piscina to the north. A stone reredos features a canopy for the cross, and there are seven hanging lights and contemporary stalls.
