St Michael and All Angels' Church, Howe Bridge

St Michael and All Angels' Church is in Leigh Road, Howe Bridge, a suburb of Atherton, Greater Manchester, England.

It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Leigh, the archdeaconry of Salford and the diocese of Manchester.

[2] The church was built between 1875 and 1877 to a design by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin for Fletcher, Burrows and Company, the owners of three collieries in Atherton.

[5] St Michael's is constructed in coursed stone with dressings of Runcorn red sandstone ashlar, and has tiled roofs.

At the west end is a large central buttress flanked by two-light windows with pointed arches.

[2] Against the north wall of the chancel is a gabled stair turret decorated with blind arcading.

[11] Commenting on its design, the architectural historians Richard Pollard and Nikolaus Pevsner in the Buildings of England series say of the architects that "it is one of their most stimulating churches".

It has a choir and a Mothers' Union, and runs a Sunday School, Scouts, Guides and associated groups.
