Spire Appeal

Structure

 

The church is built in Runcorn sandstone with a grey slate roof. It is in Decorated style. The church plan consists of a five-bay nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, a chancel, a tower at the southwest corner and a vestry at the northeast.

 

The tower is in three stages with a spire and angle buttresses. In the third stage of the tower are two-light bell openings and clock faces on three sides.

 

There is no clock face on the south side because when the church was built there were only fields on that side.

 

The spire is 140 feet (43 m) high. On the spire are lucarnes and at the top is a wrought iron cross.

Text Box: Total cost of the work on the Spire was £15,494. 

This has been paid for by the Appeal, plus £4,000 from Historic Cheshire Churches Preservation Trust; £500 from Churches Together in Winsford, with the balance from church funds. 

Donations towards the cost still welcome to cover the short fall.

Large piece of stone missing on the tower.

Cracks and pointing needing repair as you can see the Runcorn sandstone is in need of a little repair some 150 years since it was placed above the church .
