History

When the church was undergoing restoration in 1888 remains of a Saxon church were found.[5] The earliest written evidence of a church on the site is in 1206 when Patrick de Mobberley founded an Augustinian priory. This was short-lived as by 1240 it had been annexed to the priory of Rochester in Staffordshire.[6] The oldest part of the present building dates from about 1245. At that time it consisted of a continuous nave and chancel under one roof, with narrow side aisles, and a detached tower.[5] In 1450 a clerestory and new roof were added, and the aisles were widened. The tower was replaced in 1533 when the old one had become ruined.[6] In 1888 the chancel was largely rebuilt by J. S. Crowther and a chancel arch replaced the tympanum. The church has a long association with the Mallory family.[2][5]

Architecture

Exterior

The church is built in ashlar stone with a grey slate roof.[2] Its plan consists of a west tower attached to a four-bay nave with north and south aisles, a chancel with a vestry to the north, and a south porch.[7] The tower is in three stages separated by carved string courses. The summit is embattled.[5]

Interior

The low-pitched nave ceiling has cambered tie beams carried on short corbelled posts at the foot of which are figures of angels.[2] The rood screen dates from about 1500 and is richly carved. The authors of the Buildings of England series regard this as the best rood screen in Cheshire.[8] In the chancel are a carved ascending double sedilia and a piscina.[5] The piscina dates from the 13th century.[8] In the south window of the chancel is 14th-century stained glass consisting of the coats of arms of local families. There are also fragments of old glass in the windows of the south aisle.[9] Over the nave arcades are faded wall paintings where the figure of St Christopher can be recognised,[5] and on the north wall is a depiction of St George slaying the dragon.[6] The font has a Victorian bowl on a pedestal which is an inverted Tudor font.[5][6]

At the west end is a ringers' gallery which opens into the church. According to the church's website, the organ was moved from Manchester's Free Trade Hall and had been the property of Sir Charles Hallé.[6] In the church is a memorial window to George Mallory who, with Andrew Irvine lost his life climbing Mount Everest in 1924.[5] The window is by A. K. Nicholson.[8] There is a ring of six bells. Four of these are dated 1772 by Thomas Rudhall and the other two were recast in 1891 by John Taylor and Company.[10] The parish registers begin in 1578.[5]

External features

In the churchyard is a cross base which consists of a massive square sandstone block with a square socket partly occupied by a chamfered square shaft which may have once carried a cross. A sundial plate with a broken gnomon is attached to its top. It is listed at Grade II.[11] The churchyard also contains the war graves of a soldier of World War I and another of World War II.[12]
