Sacred Heart Church, Blackpool

The Roman Catholic Church of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, or Sacred Heart Church, is a Roman Catholic church in the seaside resort of Blackpool. Located on Talbot Road close to the town centre, it was the first Roman Catholic church built in Blackpool.

It was built in 1857 to a design by Edward Welby Pugin. The church is constructed of stone, with slate roofs, in the English Gothic style. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave with an octagonal crossing, around which the aisles and transepts lie. The nave arcades are supported by clustered marble piers with foliated tops and moulded lancet arches. There is a two-bay gallery to the west. The chancel is flanked by two lady chapels. The church fittings include a white marble octagonal pulpit that is carved and sits on red and black columns. There is a Neo-Georgian presbytery to the east of the building that was built c. 1950, and a former school to the west that dates from 1898.
