General notes

Ref. Mr. A. J. Taylor's "The Story of the parish of St. Stephen's, Burnley" and the church's website. The spread of the cotton industry created the workers' community of Burnley Wood. In 1865 a mission from St. Paul's was established and first a Sunday School, then a day school was founded. The Rector of Burnley, Canon Townley Parker gave a plot of land for a school, other benefactors included Gen. Scarlett. A new school opened 1870 on Tarleton St. which was also licensed for preaching. A Church was also to follow. The new parish of St. Stephen's was consecrated in 1879, the architect was James Green of Portsmouth. In 1903 a new school was opened by Bishop of Burnley Edwyn Hoskyns. The primary school is now located on Woodgrove Rd.
