Fleetwood is a coastal town in Lancashire, England, at the northwest corner of the Fylde, with a population of 25,939 at the 2011 census.Fleetwood acquired its modern character in the 1830s, when the principal landowner Peter Hesketh-Fleetwood, High Sheriff and MP, conceived an ambitious plan to re-develop the town to make it a busy seaport and railway spur. He commissioned the distinguished Victorian architect Decimus Burton to design a number of substantial civic buildings, including two lighthouses. Hesketh-Fleetwood's transport terminus schemes failed to materialise. The town expanded greatly in the first half of the 20th century with the growth of the fishing industry, and passenger ferries to the Isle of Man, to become a deep-sea fishing port.
Decline of the fishing industry began in the 1960s, hastened by the Cod Wars with Iceland, though fish processing is still a major economic activity in Fleetwood. The town's most notable employer today is Lofthouse of Fleetwood, manufacturer of the lozenge Fisherman's Friend which is exported around the world.

聖マリア教会の2つの高い塔の上からは、毎時間ごとにヘイナウ・マリアツキと呼ばれるトランペットの時報が演奏される。トランペットの悲しげな音色は演奏中に中断されるが、これは13世紀のラッパ兵が、モンゴルの襲来を告げる警笛を鳴らしている途中で喉を射られたことに由来する。正午のヘイナウはポーランド全土で放送され、海外放送としてもポーランド・ラジオ第1放送で中継される。
聖マリア聖堂は、国外に広がったポーランド人たちによって建築された多くの、特にはシカゴに位置する「セント・ジョン・カンティウス （en）」や「セント・マイケルズ （en）」などのポーランドの聖堂様式で設計された教会の建築モデルともされた。
