The early 20th-century Gothic church of St Andrew stands in the eastern suburbs of Accrington. It was built in 1912-13 by Grimshaw and Cunliffe; a stone is set in the west wall, inside, laid by the Earl of Derby, May 23rd 1912. : The church is designed in the Arts and Crafts Perpendicular style typical of this period on the eve of World War I, a style found in the work of Austin & Paley in this area.

 We are a welcoming, family-friendly Church, offering worship in a traditional, but accessible style for all the family.  Come and join us for our Solemn Mass at 11.00 am on Sundays as we enter into the mystery of God's love. On the second Sunday of the month, the 11.00 am is a Family Celebration Mass, with activities for all the family incorporated within the worship.
