Summary Description

A large Victorian town church of blackened stone located in a suburb of Manchester, just north of Hyde town centre. It was built in 1889-91 to a design by J Easton of Ashton-under-Lyne, with a grant from ICBS. It was intended to serve a population that was growing with the boom in local industries. It is a relatively standard, but dignified building in a combination of the Early English and Early Decorated styles. Significant features include the lancets, plate tracery and the tall steeple, visible from some distance around.
