Rev Thomas Baker Dixon, curate of Christ Church, started a church in 1863 in an iron warehouse in Cowhill Lane. The first service was held on 2 August 1863. Consecrated 28 December 1865. Designed by G. Shaw. A District was assigned to this church by Order in Council, 11 June 1866, (London Gazette, 12 June) from Christ Church, Ashton, St. Michael's, Ashton and St John's, Hurst.
Land for a new church was given by the Earl of Stamford and the cost of building was borne by Oldham Whittaker, a local millowner. The new church was consecrated on 28 December 1865, and Rev. T. B. Dixon remained vicar until 1908. A Mission Church, known as Queen Victoria Memorial Church, was opened on 9 October 1902 in Curzon Rd., and another, Emmanuel Church, Smallshaw, held its first service on 9 November 1921. The boundaries of the parish with St John's, Hurst, were altered slightly by Pastoral Order, 12 March 1974.
These records were deposited in the Library as Diocesan Record Office in May 1987 by Rev S D Parsons.
