Description
The Church of St. Matthew is a church built between 1889 and 1890 by Leach, located on the south side of York Street in Bebington, Bromborough Pool. It is constructed from rock-faced stone with ashlar dressings and features a tile roof. The church includes a nave, chancel, north transept, and a turret. The four-bay nave has a sill course and stepped triple lancets situated between weathered buttresses, while the west end displays stepped triple cusped lancets between angle buttresses. The south gabled porch features a pointed entrance. The transept contains stepped triple lancets, and the octagonal turret to the west has a pointed entrance and cusped louvred bell openings, topped with a slate spirelet and an iron cross. The three-bay chancel has pairs of lancets and a triplet on the east side. This church is part of a planned village for Price's Patent Candle Company, representing one of the earliest examples of a model industrial village.
