St Mary's Church is a Grade II listed parish church in Nelson, Pendle, Lancashire. It was built between 1877 and 1907 by Waddington and Dunkerley. It was the main parish church in Nelson and the former urban district until 1989, when the church was declared redundant due to decline in congregation and attendance. The congregation of the church now meet on Hibson Road at the former St Paul's School building (now the Little Marsden Parish Centre). The main church building was left empty for decades until a furniture making company bought the old church and reopened it as a furniture shop.
