Church is a small town in the borough of Hyndburn, in Lancashire, England. It sits just north of Accrington on the M65 corridor, on the southern edge of the Pennines, giving easy access to nearby centres such as Blackburn and Burnley while also opening onto local countryside and walking routes.
Historically Church grew up around a parish church and expanded rapidly as a 19th‑century textile and mill community; Victorian terraces and converted mill buildings still shape the streetscape. Today the local economy mixes light industry, services and commuters to larger towns, and the place retains a strong community feel with shops, churches, sports clubs and a visible industrial heritage.
