The Church is a Grade I listed building owned by the Historic Chapels Trust and maintained jointly by a local management committee comprised of Todmorden residents. People wishing to visit the church to view the interior can currently make an appointment by telephoning Wes Paul on 07806 775 639.

Following its closure as a place of worship in 1987, the church fell into disrepair and suffered both vandalism and decay. Its acquisition by the Historic Chapels Trust in 1994 and significant financial investment  in its repair and renovation, in great part thanks to the Heritage Lottery Fund, has restored the church to its former glory. 

The Church has been re-instated as a fully operational church and is now available for hire for a variety of events including:

• Weddings, receptions and blessings

• Celebrations (birthdays, 'Welcome to the World', anniversaries and so on.)

• Concerts

• Memorials

• Exhibitions/Sales

• Films/Plays

The Church was built between 1865-69 in memory of John Fielden (1784-1849), a wealthy philanthropist, cotton manufacturer, Member of Parliament and resident of Todmorden. It is a fantastically grand example of Victorian Gothic Church architecture, nestled amongst beautiful moorland scenery in the Pennine Town of Todmorden. Further information on the development and past use of the church is available on our church history page.

The Historic Chapels Trust have recently published a survey of the graves in the church grounds. A plan of the graveyard layout, together with full text of the legible engravings on each gravestone, are available to view in an Excel spreadsheet here. There is also some more fantastic information about the church on the Todmorden and Walsden genealogical site.
