St.Saviour's Church, Ringley, Lancashire, ENGLAND

last updated 10 March 1998

The first Church at Ringley was a 'Chapel of Ease' in the parish of Prestwich, and was endowed and built in 1625 by
Nathan WALWORTH, who was Steward to the Earl of Pembroke.

The Church stood on the site of the present clock tower which formed part of the second church built in 1825, to replace
the chapel which due to increasing congregations proved too small. The second church was demolished, again due to ever
increasing numbers at public worship, and the present church was built in 1851 and consecrated in 1854.

Associated with St.Saviour's are :-
1914 St.Aidan's Church, Outwood, erected.
1924 St.Mary's Church, Bottom O'Th'Fields erected
1948 St.Mary's Church, Bottom O'Th'Fields closed
Since these dates I'm certain St.Aidan's has been demolished but I don't know the date.
