Abstract

The fourteenth 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 the importance of preserving Gothic and heritage buildings, and considers the Taylor Review Pilot Scheme, which was established to help re-open church buildings and supported 27 sites in Greater Manchester from September 2018 until March 2020. Please note that, at the time of writing, all buildings mentioned below are currently temporarily closed to the public, due to Covid-19 measures (30/04/2020).
