More about this scene
The Church of St John the Evangelist was completed in 1870. The new parish was carved out of St James' parish as more and more houses and industry were attracted to the Burnley Road area. It has always been the largest Church of England church in Accrington, accommodating 800 people before alterations in the last century. The tower, very much a feature of the townscape, is unusual in that it is constructed in three stages with freestanding pinnacles beside the spire.
