Can anyone locate this church please ?

I am hoping that the collective knowledgeable members might be able to help me.
I am trying to find out the name and location of this church:

.

I believe it will be in the north west area UK. The picture is I think from the late 50s to early 60s or so. I have tried looking it up.....but cant get it
Any help will be greatly appreciated

On second look, maybe not.

THANKS greatly. As you seem to think its close in design but not the church. I think this after looking at some other pictures I found on the place and particularly the map/ streetview thing

I realise the photo is perhaps approaching 60 years or so old and churches change. The tower is one of the closes I have seen though
Thanks again

St Marys and All Saints Church in Great Budworth?

Rubbish at linking but looks a good match.

Again the style is similar but there are some major differences in the steeple block.
The entrance arch is at a different point to the steeple. The brickwork looks darker.
I think the one the first reply mentions is probably likely to be the colour of the brickwork in mine ie a sandstone type

Any idea where in the Northwest? Might narrow it down a bit.

Nearly...... but no cigar ...

Possibly Blackburn area though I've looked at loads from round there

Sure

That church without question is:
St Martin’s Bladon, Woodstock, Oxfordshire.

Where Winston Churchill is buried....

Dear Andrew Crown
Thank you very much I looked it up and from this google view I think its without question the church.
It's completely thrown me. The photograph was one I found amongst my fathers stuff and I have always thought it was somewhere in the North West. I assumed it would have some direct family connection to my father.
Thank you again

I'm really sorry its taken me by surprise as I was sure it would be North West England
Funny isn't it how so much of the architecture is very similar

Someone from Kent, lurking on the NW board spots a church in Oxfordshire.

PH is unique!

THIS absolutely
I had asked the same question on some church related websites with no results. Admittedly I was confident of it being in the North West but its interesting that Pistonheads gets it almost straight away. I am genuinely grateful to Andrew above who worked out where it was.
His explanation was interesting too. Thanks again to anyone who looked in on this thread.
