Inglewhite Congregational Church is a church located in the English village of Inglewhite, Lancashire. A Grade II listed building, it was constructed in 1826.[1]
The church was founded in 1819 and was originally known as Silk Mill Lane Independent Church. It became known as a Congregational Church later in the 19th century.[2]
The church is in sandstone, partly rendered, with quoins and a slate roof. It has a rectangular plan, with an extension on the side. There is a gabled symmetrical front that has a round-headed doorway with an inscription in the head, imposts, and a fanlight. There are two round-headed windows above, and larger round-headed windows on the sides and rear.[3] [1]
In 2011, Preston City Council designated the church as one of eleven buildings in the village to be sites of special interest.[4] Another two were added in 2022.[5] The church runs a weekly playgroup.[6]
In 2011 the church appointed the Frank Whittle Partnership to design a 450,000ドル extension to accommodate its increasing congregation.[7] [8]
