St Philip with St Stephen, Salford St Philip’s with St Stephen is a friendly congregation, who are proud of their history of social action and uplifting worship. The area is now one of the most desirable in Greater Manchester but in the past, has been one of the poorest communities in the country. The congregation includes locals new and old – and people from a wider area with connections to the church. St Philip’s worships in the Anglican tradition and is committed to being inclusive of everybody. The church school on Barrow St is an excellent primary school.
You can find us just off of Chapel St between Salford (Roman Catholic) Cathedral and the old Salford Royal Hospital (now apartments, known simply as 'The Royal) we are also very close to Salford University and a short walk from Manchester City Centre

Brief history of the building. Designed by Sir Robert Smirke in 1825, the building’s Greek style is unique in Salford. The view of the church from chapel St is the most impressive, with its bow – fronted porch with ionic colonnade and balustraded parapet and bell tower above. The main entrance is around the corner at the west end of the church. The spacious interior is well worth a visit. The church became St Philip’s with St Stephen in 1962 when St Stephen’s church on St Stephen St closed and the congregations merged. The site of St Stephen’s church is still a small park between Trinity Way and St Stephens St.
