Comming Event
HERITAGE OPEN DAY AT St. GEORGE'S
Thanks to all who organised and supported our Heritage open day. We did not have as many visitors as we expected, partually due the distraction of the cycle race that passed through Stalybridge during the day and associated events, however all who came were able to take advantage of the various descriptive pamphlets about our church and it's history and also viewed the parish's registers and the war grave records. Many of these records can now be viewed on the 'CHURCH HERITAGE' and 'CHURCH RECORDS' tabs on the top of this page.
PROJECT UPDATE - St. GEORGE'S PARISH CHURCH HAS A NEW ROOF
After many year planning and fund raising by our congregation, and thanks to a generous grant of £233,000 from the 'National Lottery Heritage Fund' towards the £300,000 project we have finally been able to renovation the Church roof and gutters in time for out 179th anniversary. This was celebrated on Sunday the 23rd of June with a special choral evensong, conducted by our Archdeacon Cherry Vann and supported by visiting choirs.
The progress of the project can be seen here. The work also included a new kitchenette in the upper lounge and an updated emergency lighting system throughout the whole building.
Many grateful thanks to the National Lottery Heritage Fund for their generous grant and for the continuing financial support of our congregation.
We are continuing to fund raise in order to carry out a major renovation project on our 179 year old historic RENN organ now we have a secure roof.
