The Church Inn is a Grade II listed public house on Church Lane in Prestwich, a town within the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, Greater Manchester, England. Historic England describes it as an 18th‑century building, while the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) notes earlier origins and gives 1629 as the earliest known date.

History

Although the official listing dates the building to the 18th century,[2] The Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) records an earlier origin and cites 1629 as the earliest known date.[3] A local history feature also repeats traditions of 17th‑century or earlier activity on the site,[4] but these accounts are anecdotal and not supported by the listing. The pub was known as the Ostrich until 1823.[1] The 1893 Ordnance Survey map marks the building as the Church Inn.[5]

On 30 June 1966, the Church Inn was designated a Grade II listed building.[2] As of 2025, the pub's freehold was held by Stonegate.[3] The Church Inn is in close proximity to the Church of St Mary the Virgin, which is Grade I listed.[6]

Architecture

The Church Inn is constructed in brown brick, with the front finished in render marked to resemble stone. The main elevation has three wide windows fitted with sash frames in a style typical of the Victorian period. Inside, the structure includes rounded‑edge ceiling beams and traditional six‑panel doors.[7] The pub adjoins No. 38 Church Lane, which is separately Grade II listed and built in exposed brick rather than render,[8] and the side elevation carries signage for the pub.
