Church of St. Walburge, Preston
St Walburge's Church is a Roman Catholic church in Preston, Lancashire, England, northwest of the city centre on Weston Street. The church was built in the mid 19th century by the Gothic revival architect Joseph Hansom, designer of the hansom cab and is famous as having the tallest spire of any parish church in England. St Walburge's is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building.
In April 2014 the Right Reverend Michael Campbell, Bishop of Lancaster, announced that the church would be entrusted to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest in autumn 2014, as a shrine for Eucharistic Devotion.〔(Lancaster Diocese Pastoral Letter April 4 2014 ), accessed 7 April 2014〕

With her two brothers St. Willibald and St. Winebald, she went to Germany as a missionary. She was renowned for her miraculous healing of illnesses. The church is part of the Catholic revival that transpired during the time of England's Catholic emancipation.
