Church of St Cuthbert by the Forest

church building United Kingdom
Church of St Cuthbert by the Forest, Mouldsworth. The story behind this Catholic church is that in the 1920’s there was an influx of Irish farm workers, and the landlady of the Station Hotel SJ5170 : The Goshawk, Station Road, Mouldsworth persuaded a curate from St Werburgh’s to come out and say Mass in a pavilion behind the hotel. Mass times therefore had to coincide with train times. After the war, the landlady purchased the land and St Cuthbert's was built from 1953-55 to the designs of Francis Xavier Velarde. The church, with its detached campanile, was listed grade II in 2014 (list entry 1418016). It acquired its present extended name when ‘by the Forest’ was added in 2000.
