释义 |
HistorySt John's Church originated as a mission church in the Old Butts Chapel in 1881. In 1898 a new church was built, and in 1908 St John's became a separate parish. It was decided to build a new church, the foundation stone of which was laid on 27 May 1911.[2] It was designed by the architects Austin and Paley of Lancaster.[3] The new church was consecrated on 1 October 1912 by the Rt Revd Edmund Knox, bishop of Manchester. There had been plans to build a west tower but, when the funds were raised for this in the 1950s, it was discovered that the foundations were inadequate, and a new northwest porch was built instead. This was opened in 1961.[2] The church was declared redundant on 1 March 2006, and was demolished in 2009.[3][4][5] Its reredos was moved to St Margaret's Church, Oldham.[2] ArchitectureThe church was constructed in stone, its architectural style being late Perpendicular. The authors of the Buildings of England series describe it as having been "handsome and assured with well-grouped elements", and having a "good if sober interior".[6] See also{{portal|Lancashire}}
