Fairhaven United Reformed Church

Fairhaven United Reformed Church, also known as "the White Church," was built in 1904 and 1911 by Briggs, Wolstenholme and Thornley, with stained glass by Luke S. Walmesley of St Annes and Charles Elliott of London. The church is primarily constructed of white faience, except for the rear hall, which is of red brick with buff terracotta dressings. The roof is covered in slate and bituminous asphalt. The design is Free Byzantine in style, consisting of a square central space with a domed roof. A tall octagonal minaret tower is positioned at the north-east corner, complemented by octagonal turrets with domed lanterns at the south-east and north-west corners. Each corner features an extruded three-sided porch with pilasters, a dentil cornice, and a geometrically panelled parapet, each having a round-headed doorway. The northeast porch roof has swept and scrolled brackets, while the tower has tall round-headed panels, a dentilled cornice, and a three-stage lantern or belfry with an open-arcaded first stage, latticed windows on the second stage, and a domed roof topped with a cross. Large segmental-headed tripartite windows are set within the projecting gabled bays on the main sides, topped with parapets. An octagonal parlour, with round-headed windows and a domed roof, is attached to the west side of the northwest porch. A red brick hall is attached to the rear, running parallel, with the east gable featuring a Diocletian window with run-out vousoirs of buff terracotta.

Inside, the main central space is square with chamfered corners, with porches in two corners and a choir vestry and organ chamber in the others. Wide segmental-arched alcoves on each side are illuminated by stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes, historical religious figures, and events such as the departure of the Pilgrim Fathers and the Great Ejection of Nonconformist clergy.

The church is an unusual design and serves as a very conspicuous landmark between Lytham and St Annes.
