- St Walburge’s was designed by the architect Joseph Hansom and completed in 1854.
At a towering 309 ft, it is the tallest of any parish church in England.
This spectacular spire is also the third tallest in the UK, giving you breathtaking views over the city. is a major, unique attraction for visitors who can climb the 173 spiral steps to obtain a magnificent 360 degree view over Preston city and westwards to Blackpool and the Irish Sea coast. St Walburge's is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
The rose window is a beautifully-coloured circular window, 22 feet in diameter. The colour of the spire contrasts to that of the main body of the church because it’s made of a different stone- a limestone full of fossils.
The Medieval leper hospital of St Mary Magdalene once stood here.

Another great video of a spectacular piece of history! I really enjoyed the transition to color!
great flight love the church..and great music..
The church has a lot of history and was saved I believe as recently as 2014. “The English Martyrs is saved from the prospect of closure and is thus secured for the future,” the bishop said.
Its future had looked uncertain, the bishop said, as only about 70 people attended Mass there and parish activities had become limited, “making it difficult for the parishioners to shoulder their responsibility for the care of the church building”.
“The fact that the church will be used each day for prayer and cared for by the institute means it will continue to witness to the faith and mission of the Catholic Church in Preston for many years to come.”
Amazing church. Very good and stable drone flight. Interesting shots. Great film editing. Good job. I fly too. Greetings from Poland. I liked and subscribed.😊😊
Thank you Tomasz, much appreciated. Subbed to your chann too.👍
Cracking footage mate impressive spire love the black and white
Cheers fella. Drone Father flew here a few months back so I didn't want it to be too similar to his video.
Wow, absolutely loved that, stunning video with great music, such beautiful architecture, well done sir 👏
Thanks Matt 😊 It's a fine church with history - and a bit intimidating with the drone ul high and close!
Excellent footage of this beautiful piece of architecture ❤ wow.😊
Thank you Yvonne - despite being very local, I rarely go by the road here.
The black and white shots really added to the drama of your footage. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Shane, I figured it suited the scene nicely.
*That is an astonishing church and spire! Can you imagine being the unlucky guy constructing the spire at 300 feet?😮Nice flight and footage*
A famous steeplejack went up the spire - you can see it at 29.20 in this link to Fred Dibnah's climb! czcams.com/video/9YX2_sEYPbs/video.html
Stunning
Thanks Bob, much appreciated.
Very inspired filming. Love the contrast from the beginning to the end. Top class mate. Well up my street.
Thanks Mickey, 😊 It's a massive church spire and I felt a bit nervous getting that high and close to the top. I figured you might stop by. 👌
@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos You and drone father have done it justice mate. I have a few in Yorkshire to do first.😀
@@rsmickeymooproductions4877 I think the tallest in Yorkshire is gonna be Wakefield Cathedral
@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos Probably, and its on my doorstep. An interesting one that I'm looking at is Patrington in East Yorkshire which hasn't been done that many times.
@rsmickeymooproductions4877 Just looked at an online photo, and it looks well worth a flight
Fantastic buddy when you were coming down the spire that was my thought ..what height is that bloody impressive spire great Job 👏👏👍
I was feeling a touch of vertigo just looking at it at the very top!
It's about 303ft
Designed by Joseph Hansom who designed the Hansom cab and the red telephone boxes
Absolutely correct Darren - and a fine build it is.
@@starshipwonaprize-dronevideos imo it is the number one landmark of Preson.
@DarrenLamb-on3py Without doubt, it is the most iconic by a long way too.
