Abstract

The fifteenth instalment as part of an ongoing series for Haunt Manchester by Dr Peter N. Lindfield FSA, exploring Greater Manchester’s Gothic architecture and hidden heritage. Peter’s previous Haunt Manchester articles include features on Ordsall Hall, Albert’s Schloss and Albert Hall, the Mancunian Gothic Sunday School of St Matthew’s, Arlington House in Salford, Manchester’s Modern Gothic in St Peter’s Square, what was St John’s Church, Manchester Cathedral, The Great Hall at The University of Manchester, and more. From the city’s striking Gothic features to the more unusual aspects of buildings usually taken for granted and history hidden in plain sight, a variety of locations will be explored and visited over the course of 2020. In this article he reflects on St Chad’s church in Rochdale, and readers can enjoy an online tour of inside the church building thanks to Rochdale Town Centre BID’s Rochdale 360, accessible here. As the building is currently closed to the public (at the time of writing, May 2020) due to Covid-19 measures, this article, in combination with the Rochdale 360 online tour, is an ideal way to explore the fascinating history of the church… whilst staying at home!
