St Saviour's Church, Wildboarclough

St Saviour’s Church stands in the village of Wildboarclough in Cheshire. It is an active Anglican parish church, part of the diocese of Chester. The benefice also includes four nearby churches. The building is listed Grade II on the National Heritage List for England. The church was built between 1901 and 1909 for the 16th Earl of Derby. It was designed to celebrate his sons’ safe return from the Boer War. Workers from the Crag estate carried out the construction. The Countess of Derby laid the foundation stone in September 1901. The church was consecrated in 1909. The church is built of red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and Kerridge stone-slate roofs. It has a four-bay nave with a south porch and a single-bay chancel with a north vestry. The west tower has two stages and is battlemented. Inside, the walls are plastered above an oak dado. The church contains an ornate early 20th-century stone font with stiff-leaf capitals and a wooden cover topped by the Lamb of God.
