Church of St Mary, Castle Road, Runcorn - Halton (UA)
Parish church dated 1851 by Sir GG Scott. Constructed in local soft red sandstone with slate roof. Four-bay nave with side aisles and lowered chancel. Porched entrances to the north east vestry and south aisle. The sandstone is soft and has been heavily eroded, resulting in the loss of detail in places, especially the window hood moulds with their loss of weather protection. The church has been a victim of heritage crime. The abutment detail of the aisle roofs below the clerestory windows has failed and water ingress is evident.
