A Church That Dates Back To The 18th Century.. Old Black Victorian Stone Shows The Historical Value Of This Lovely Church That Sits Just Off Rochdale Canal .. This Church Is The Only One I've Ever Found That's So Close To The Canal .. There's Some Headstones That Date Back To The 1850s And Also New Graves Which Is A Reminder If How Short Life Can Be For Some People .. The Church Grounds Are Well Looked After And It's Always Great To See A Well Maintained Church And Graveyard Where People's Loved Ones Can Always Be Remembered...βœοΈπŸ•―οΈπŸ‡¬πŸ‡§
