The Minster Church of St John the Evangelist
Heritage Open Day: Preston’s parish church is a Grade II* listed building. It was almost entirely rebuilt in the mid-1850s by EH Shellard, with fittings by Lancaster architect, EG Paley, and stained glass by Shrigley and Hunt. During the 1715 Battle of Preston, the Jacobite army used the tower as an observation post, and later over 1,000 Jacobite prisoners were held for weeks in the church.
