History

The church was built in 1880 as a chapel of ease to St Mary, Bowdon, and became a parish in its own right the following year.[3] It was designed by Wilbraham Egerton, who was later to become the 1st Earl Egerton.[4]

Architecture

St Elizabeth's is constructed in red brick and red terracotta, and has a red tiled roof. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave, a chancel, north and south transepts, a northeast vestry, and a southwest porch.[2] On the west gable is a stone bellcote.[4] The windows in the nave contain Perpendicular tracery, while those in the transepts and the east window have Decorated tracery.[2] The chancel windows are spherical triangles.[4] At the west end of the church are three lancet windows with trefoil heads between which are colonnettes, and above them is a trefoil rose window. On the bellcote are gargoyles.[2]

Inside the church, the reredos has a tiled dado and panels with a floral decoration. The stained glass dates from 1925, but the artist and maker are unknown.[4] The three-manual organ was built in 1885 by A. Young and Sons of Manchester, and was originally a house organ.[5]
