Background
History
St Oswald's was built in 1907–08 to a design by F. P. Oakley, and consecrated on 22 October 1908. In the 2000s two local Anglican churches closed, the Church of St John the Baptist in 2003, and the mission church of Holy Trinity in 2010. Consequently, St Oswald's has become the parish church of Bollington.
Architecture
The church is constructed in buff sandstone. It has a red tiled roof, stone copings, and there is a stone chimney rising from the vestry. Its architectural style is florid Decorated. The church is orientated north–south, and consists of a four-bay nave with a single-bay chancel in one range, an east aisle, and porches on the west side and at the southeast corner. The bays on the west wall of the nave are separated by buttresses, each bay containing a three-light window with reticulated tracery. At the south end is a castellated bow window for the baptistry, above which is a three light window. The aisle has three-light windows with trefoil heads in rectangular surrounds.
