The Parish Church of Saint Faith was designed by the Liverpool architects Grayson and Ould, the building structure being a combination of sandstone and red brick which is pleasing both externally and internally. Above the nave is a splendid hammer-beam roof, fashioned in the same style as the roof in Westminster Hall, whilst the choir and sanctuary are covered by a magnificent barrel-vaulted roof. The craftsmen who constructed the building left a beautiful church as a memorial to their skills: skills which are, sadly, in short supply a hundred years later. The building was consecrated in 1900.

The church is entered from the south porch, which is protected by substantial wrought iron gates, through two sets of doors; the outer doors of solid oak, at least two inches thick, have darkened due to exposure to the elements over almost a century but the inner doors remain almost the same as when they were installed. Woodwork is a feature of Saint Faith`s and there are many fine examples of the skill of the carpenter in the church; appropriate in view of Christ`s exposure to the carpentry skills of Joseph. The woodworking skills of O.E. Griffiths, of Bevington Hill, Liverpool, are to be found in the carved Spanish sedilia, the choir stalls and the organ casing. The organ casing was in place before the organ itself was finally completed in 1901. Griffiths was also responsible for the carved sandstone pulpit.

When you enter the church, you come into a fairly large area to the rear, now devoid of pews and used as a gathering and refeshmen area, with the remainder of the nave and the chancel to your right.
