An occasional series looking at our churches.
Now I have spent a lot of time over the years writing about
St Clement's, particularly the old church on the green and rarely look at the
rest.*
So when Andy Robertson sent over this image it was time to
broaden my horizons and remind people of the work done by Tony Goulding on the
church.**
In recognition of the growth of Chorlton in 1898 a new parish
was established consisting of part of St Clements’s parish and some others.
The foundation stone of St Werburgh's Church was laid on November
5 1899, and its chancel and transepts dedicated in 1900.
The church was completed and opened on June 1 1902 and
consecrated July 15 1902.***
