Burnley Canal: Church on the Skyline

Passed the church below while walking back from Barrowford Locks to Burnley on the Liverpool-Leeds Canal.

The church seemed to dominate the skyline near the Burnley football ground, Turf Moor

Came to discover that the church was Catholic, St. Mary of the Assumption:

 With it having a crucifix in front:


 And a Lourdes grotto round the back:


Have just read that this church is a listed building:


Having been built in the mid-19th century to replace a Catholic chapel near the entrance lodge to Towneley Hall.
