About us

Pevsner Architectural GuidesThe Buildings of EnglandFounding Editor: Sir Nicholaus PevsnerSt. Margaret, Whalley (Rufford) Road. The foundation stone was laid on 11 February 1848 by Bishop Prince Lee on the afternoon of his enthronement, the first act by the first bishop of the new diocese of Manchester. He was to consecrate 123 more new churches, including this one in 1849. It is by James Harrison Chester and was paid for (£6000) by Samuel Brooks. It looks like a village church overtaken by urban development, its orientation across its big green churchyard at odds with the alignment of the streets. Decorated with invented traceries to the east windows. West tower with broach spire. Arcades with octagonal piers, two-light clerestory windows above the spandrels not the apexes of the arches – all in the new attitude of archaeological correctness. The interior plasterwork has been stripped leaving the brickwork uncomfortably exposed but demonstrating that the south east chapel is an addition (c. 1920). Pews of an unusually organic design. Oak Lectern, a proud eagle by G.A. Vitty of Manchester. Stained Glass. SE chapel S, a memorial to Alfred Neal Hyde (Hydes' Brewery, Moss Side) 1918 with his portrait, twice. Dramatic E window, Crucifixion, c. 1932.
