Nicholas Pevsner writing in the Buildings of England described the church as one of the greatest and most moving of all Victorian churches, with an interior of ‘breathtaking majesty and purity’.

The church was the subject of drawings and paintings by artist LS Lowry who lived at 117 Station Road, Pendlebury, between 1909 and 1948.
