St Alkmund’s Church was built in the 1970s to replace the Victorian St Alkmund's which had been demolished in 1968 to enable the construction of the Derby inner ring road.[1]

It combined the parishes of St Alkmund’s and St Werburghs.[2] In December 2017 it was announced that the incumbent Revd Canon Jean Burgess was to become the next Archdeacon of Bolton, Diocese of Manchester.[3] Previous incumbents on this site include John White, vicar 1996 - 2013.[4]
