Church House is adjacent toSt Werburgh's Church, in Bent Lane in the village ofWarburton,Greater Manchester, England. It is recorded in theNational Heritage List for England as a designated Grade IIlisted building.[1]
Church House was built as parish rooms and a caretaker's house in 1889.[1]Hubbard states that it was built forRowland Egerton-Warburton and that its design is attributed to theChester architectJohn Douglas.[2] However the authors of theBuildings of England series refer to the "Douglas motifs" and give a firm attribution to him.[3] The citation in theNational Heritage List for England states that the architect is Douglas.[1] The building continues to function as parish rooms.[4]
The building is constructed in brown brick withsandstone dressings and has a red clay tile roof. It has two storeys and a T-shape plan; the wing facing the road constitutes the parish rooms and the wing at the rear forms the caretaker's house.
