St Peter's was opened in 1824, built for the Church Commissioners (along with many others elsewhere) in response to the spread of non-conformist churches. It has a gothic-style tower 128 feet high and inside it has gallery seating around three. sides

I was in here for dad's funeral 11 years ago last week. A day after my wife filed for divorce!
ReplyDeleteA great photo Martin! The tower is the finest feature of this church.
ReplyDeleteHave you seen St peter's Church
ReplyDeleteIn Ashton under Lyne?
'Tis a gothic edifice
of excellent design.
The tower styled by architects
The perpendicular
Is without exception the
Most elegant by far
Of any that we have seen.
Graceful pinnacles crown
The top, and slender windows
Are placed the whole way down.
When measuring the tower
It proved a lofty one-
A hundred and twenty eight
feet to the topmost stone
The parapet round the top
Is elegant and light
being perforated all through,
Showing well from the height.
The above verses are taken from a poem on St Peter's Church by The Revd Dr W. Kirk who was the vicar. The poem was written in 1883. The poetry isn't always great, but it is of interest!!!
