Chorlton's own Lych Gate ... now on Manchester Road

 I'm a great admirer of Richard Griffiths' skills as a model maker.

And over the last brace of months he has been working on a representation of the Lych Gate which once was the entrance to the parish graveyard on the green.

The original dates from the jubilee of Queen Victoria, was a symbol of the Great Chorlton Church Schism, and has been recently restored by the City Council.

And Richard's model is a wonderful piece of work.

You can see the unveiling today at the Beer House on Manchester Road tonight  at 7.30 this evening.

So, a bit history, a talk to Richard and some beer.

One to do.
