Churches and Cathedrals in Morley Green

"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."

"About: Patisserie Valerie in Deansgate is a haven of self-indulgence. This luxurious, continental-style patisserie and café is famed for delicious handmade cakes and pastries. Under the counter you'll discover a mouth-watering array of sugary treats such as tarts, macaroons and gateauxs."

"I wouldn’t normally have chosen this flavour, but on a hot day they only had three to choose from. Had a changing flavour – hints of coffee, cream and caramel with little bits of caramel which gave a nice texture change."

"Created by the lads behind the award-winning Viet Shack next door, Fusion Lab offers up some delicious modern Asian-inspired street food. They used to do the most incredible squid ink fish tacos – lightly battered fish and homemade cucumber and daikon pickles encased in a soft, black wrap – but, alas, these are no longer on the menu. Popular choices include the Korean fried chicken and their twist on the Cubano sandwich, as well as their loaded fries."

"What: The streetside terrace at Thaikhun is found under an iron-clad structure that has been prettified with hanging fairy lights and faux foliage. The restaurant has a built-in fun, carefree vibe, matched by the easygoing menu that is inspired by the lively street food markets of Thailand. While you get some fresh air, tuck into dishes such as massaman curry and grilled chicken satay and wash it all down with a Thai beer."

"One of the most unique looking Thai restaurants in Manchester, Thaikhun is something of a sight to behold. Loud and proud with heritage and cultural nods, the interiors of the restaurant not only hark to street food markets in the country, the plates are full of classics and favourite dishes."

"Thaikhun has to be on the list of the best Asian restaurants in Manchester. Its great food and atmosphere is perfect for any occasion. The restaurant also hosts cooking classes where you can learn how to cook the best Thai food using fresh ingredients."

"Macclesfield is in the orbit of the Jodrell Bank Observatory, founded in 1945 and part of the University of Manchester. The primary telescope at Jodrell Bank is the colossal Lovell Telescope, built in 1957 and still the third largest steerable dish radio telescope in the world, at 76.2 metres in diameter. Amateur astronomers come a long way to savour this immense structure, which along with the rest of the station has been mooted for World Heritage Status."

"Home to a collection of impressive oil paintings, ceramics, local history and a fine selection of the famous Leek Embroideries. Walk in the footsteps of William Morris, D.H. Lawrence, Oscar Wilde and John Betjeman."
