Churches and Chapels

St Cuthbert's C of E Parish Church, Church Road, Lytham. This is the third church of this name to be built on this site since the founding of the parish during the 12th century. It was built in 1834, at a cost of £1,600.

St Peter's RC Church, at the junction of Clifton Street and Station Road, was built in 1839. Prior to this, Roman Catholics had to worship up at Lytham Hall in a little chapel too small for so great a congregation. A recent alteration has resulted in a centre aisle being created, with the two winged aisles being retained.

St John's Parish Church on East Beach, facing the windmill, was built in 1849. It has been for many years the Lifeboatmen's church. The vicar of St John's is Chaplain to the crew.

The Congregational Church, on Bannister Street, opposite Lytham Police Station, was built in 1852. It is now known as the United Reformed Church.

The Methodist Chapel, in Park Street, was built in 1868 to replace the much smaller chapel in Bath Street, behind the Queen's Hotel. When first erected it was known as the Wesleyan Chapel.
