CANON CRISTOFOLI: The Shrine Churches of Saint Walburge and the English Martyrs are two iconic churches in Preston.
Their architectures are extremely different. One is the work of Hanson and the other is a Pugin Church. Our two churches require restoration work. We have begun a long and considerable project for Saint Walburge’s. Soon we will also be able to undertake the same work at English Martyrs’. Many local Preston people are passionate about their churches and Saint Walburge’s and the English Martyrs’ cannot leave us indifferent. I pray that Divine Providence will grant generous benefactors because with such important buildings, the quote that we have received is extremely high.
