Chirst Church & Graveyard, Glasson Dock, Lancashire UK Editorial Photo

Christ Church, Glasson is a beautiful church in a most picturesque location. Situated within half a mile of Glasson Dock Village. It was built in 1840, adjacent to the Glasson Arm of the Lancaster Canal, completed in 1826. The rear gate of the Churchyard leads onto the towpath of the canal. The church was consecrated on the 29th June 1840. Shipyard founder, James Penny Nicholson, came up with the idea for a church at Glasson. Money was raised and the land was purchased from John Brockbank of Lancaster. In 1932 the church was extended with the addition of a vestry and chancel, funded by a donation from a wealthy local woman. Local architects, Austin and Paley of Lancaster, were responsible for the planning and design of the alterations.
