Wilmslow - St Bartholomews Church

St Bartholomew's Church

 

St Bartholomew's Church; built between 1517 and 1537 on the site of an earlier church, of which only the crypt remains. You can peer through a newly-installed window at the crypt which dates to around 1300. The church officially celebrated its 750th annivarsary in January 2000.

It recently came to the end of a programme of major renovations.

 

The church from the garden of remembrance. Until the end of the last century "Wilmslow" was just the area around the church, first recorded around 1300. In 1894 the ancient parishes of Styal, Stanilands, Morley, Fulshaw, Chorley, Hough and Dean Row were officially agglomerated into what you might call "Greater Wilmslow".
