St Mary the Virgin is part of the Church of England, which is one of the mainstream Christian churches.

The church was built by Brew Brothers of Moss Lane, Cadishead and on 2nd February 1929 the church was consecrated. Prior to 1929, the congregation of the parish worshipped in a temporary building known affectionately as the ‘tin church’. Land was acquired and permission granted by the then Bishop of Manchester for the erection of a permanent building.
The corner stone was ceremonially laid by Sir W.P. Rylands JP, and blessed by Rev. C. Keeling, Rural Dean of Heaton.

Further alterations to the church have been made and full details can be found on the church website. Also there is information about St. Mary’s on ‘a church near you’.

St Mary’s also have a Christian Men’s Group that come together in fellowship. Contact the church for more information…
