Bispham Parish Church
All Hallows Road, Bispham.
Grade 2 -- Listed 20.10.1983
Until 1821 the parish church of “Bispham” was the only place of worship in Blackpool. The present church, the third in the site, was built in 1883 in stone with slate roofs by John Lowe of Manchester.
The building consists of a 5-bay nave, a chancel with transepts and a south-west tower in a minimally Early English style. The inner south doorway is an 1883 restoration of the Norman original, incorporating fragments of the original masonry.
