History
The church was built between 1877 and 1878, and was designed by the Lancaster architects Paley and Austin[2] at a cost of £9,000 (equivalent to £780,000 in 2021).[3] The land for the church was given by Lord Egerton, who also paid for the church and its parsonage.[4] The church closed in the 1980s, but re-opened around 2005.[5]
The Anglican[5] parish church[2] is located on Groves Avenue,[1] off Hulton Street, Ordsall, Salford, Greater Manchester.[2] It can be seen from the Eccles line of the Manchester Metrolink.[1] It is in the deanery of Salford, the archdeaconry of Salford and the diocese of Manchester.[5] Its current minister is Rev. Sandra Kearney.[1]
Architecture
St Clement's is constructed in red brick and terracotta and has a tiled roof. It is designed in a 13th-century gothic style. Its plan consists of a seven-bay nave with a clerestory, a chancel[2] and north and south aisles.[6] Above the chancel is a flèche with cladding in Westmorland slate. The nave and chancel are divided by buttresses across the aisles. Along the aisles are seven three-light windows. The clerestory contains round windows. The east end contains a five-light window, above which is an arch and gable with three stepped blind lancets, as well as heavy angle buttresses.[2] At the west end is an unusual gabled portal in moulded brick with a roundel in terracotta containing tracery.[4]
Inside the church the arcades are carried on round sandstone piers.[6] The chancel is floored with Doulton tiles, and on its walls are murals depicting religious scenes, also in Doulton tiles.[2] It also contains a tripartate sedilia.[6] The chancel is vaulted.[4] Part of the nave has been partitioned to form a meeting room.[2] The two-manual organ was built by Willis.[7]
It was designated as a Grade II listed building on 18 January 1980.[2]
It also has an associated community hall.[5]
