Churches and Cathedrals in Irlam

"Warrington’s parish church is an atmospheric sandstone building with a spire 86 metres high. This is the eighth highest spire in the country, and the fifth highest among parish churches. Most of St Elphin’s dates from a restoration that took place in the 1860s, but there are fragments of earlier buildings."

"At the top, look inside St Michael’s Church, which commands the Market Place and can be seen across the town. Although the church was almost completely rebuilt at the start of the 20th century it is highly regarded for its two historic chapels. Here you’ll encounter what is considered to be Cheshire’s richest collection of alabaster effigies, produced in the 16th and 17th centuries for the Legh and Savage families."

"This 13th-century church about a mile north of Macclesfield is the fourth church on this site. But what’s unusual is that the third church is still here, out among Medieval yew trees. There’s a Norman Romanesque chapel in the churchyard, dating to the 12th century, with semi-circular door and window arches and weathered but visible tympanum relief and lozenge patterns in the archivolts."

"The B29 Overexposed Crash Site is an exciting and memorable Peak District walk, as it is a site where 13 people tragically lost their lives in 1948. We recommend exploring the area but also be respectful as it is a memorial. It is interesting how after 70 years, you can still see vast parts of the wreckage."

"A treasured monument and attraction in Warrington, Walton Hall is a Jacobean Revival mansion, built in the 1830s for Sir Gilbert Greenall, an MP who had a 45-year career at the House of Commons. The house has been owned by the council since 1941 and hosts chamber music concerts and can be hired out for weddings and other events. Immediately outside the house is a formal garden, while there are ample facilities for families in the park."

"Lavish Elizabethan-style hall with ornamental gardens, including picnic areas, a kids' zoo and cafe. Address : Walton Lea Rd, Higher Walton, Warrington WA4 6SN, United Kingdom"

"You know what they say, when in Rome… You can also visit the beautiful Tatton Park with its magnificent mansion. A stroll through this place will surely build up an appetite."

"Frank Matcham, the UK’s foremost theatre architect at the turn of the 20th century, designed Buxton’s 902-seat Opera House, which opened at Pavilion Gardens in 1903. After 25 years hosting touring opera and theatre companies, the Opera House functioned as a cinema before being restored and reopened as a live performance venue in the 1970s. It’s a marvellous building, both inside and out , with a pair of Neo-Baroque domes on the facade, and cherubim, gold leaf, exuberant plasterwork and frescoes adorning the auditorium."

"Yes, Buxton has one of its own, designed by Frank Matcham no less, with a busy and varied programme. Next week there’ll be performances of The Tiger Who Came to Tea, hot from the West End."

"Manchester Opera House is the Palace Theatre’s little sister. It’s located on Quay Street, near Spinningfields. It is smaller than the Palace theatre however, there are still some amazing productions to see here."

"An abundance of choice in flavour is available to have in a cone, on waffles, or on a cake of your own choosing. If you ever head to gelato passion, make sure you try out their peanut butter cake with raspberry sorbet. Kind of like a PB&J sandwich deconstructed into ice cream!"
