Description
The presbytery to the Roman Catholic Church of St. Mary was built between 1864 and 1865, with a clock tower added in 1877, designed by Pugin and Pugin. It is constructed of rock-faced red sandstone, with the rear and west walls made of brick, and features a steeply pitched slate roof with various chimneys. The building has a double pile plan, consisting of two storeys and a basement. The front has two gabled bays and a three-stage buttressed clock tower that includes a doorway with a shouldered head on the east side. The left gable features a two-storey canted bay, while the right gable has one tall window on each floor, although the glazing has been altered. The clock tower is adorned with diagonal buttresses, a narrow cusped window at the ground floor, and one on each side above. It also has tall cusped and louvred belfry openings on the second floor, a bracketed eaves cornice, a slated spire with swept eaves, and a clock face on the east side eaves. A plaque inside the entrance notes that the clock and tower were donated by William Ince Anderton in 1877 as a gift to the township of Euxton to mark the coming of age of his eldest son on December 22, 1876.
