This beautiful church is situated in Lowerplace, Oldham-road, a thriving village, which has been lately brought within the Borough of Rochdale, and was, in addition to the fine spacious schools and vicarage, built by the liberality of Messrs. Radcliffe. ... [description of interior] The building was consecrated by the Bishop of Manchester, Dr. Fraser, on July 1, 1872.
