Churches and Cathedrals in Over Alderley

"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."

"In the same location as The Lost Cat but heading underground is a brand new late-night bar, the 'crazy cousin' of Bunny Jackson's Juke Joint across town. The dive bar will sling out bourbons and beer as well as burgers from Triple B upstairs - which will arrive through a plastic chute into the basement. The site was previously a boutique gym but has now been given an all-American makeover."

"A dive bar in the NQ will be Bunny Jackson’s 2nd bar in town, the other at First StreetWhere. 68 Oldham St, Manchester M4 1LEWho."

"Manchester is a city of secrets, but what about secret bars?. Hidden behind a launderette, confuse your date by leading them to the tumble dryers, and straight past into a cocktail bar. Elusive and chocka with interesting mixes, The Washhouse is sure to be a top talking point for you both."

"And the best night out in Manchester according to TripAdvisor?. It’s The Washhouse, one of the city’s most popular “secret” bars. Hidden inside what appears to be a laundrette (note – they will not be catering for your dirty washing), booking is essential."

"Editor's Note: There's no photo available at the time of writing. Tucked away from Warrington’s main town centre, where you will find all your standard high street shops and some small independent boutiques too, you will find Woolston Park. A wonderful way to spend a Sunday morning or sunny weekday after work, Woolston Park is a much-loved spot by local people."

"Excellent park for a decent length walk, plenty of wildlife along the way. There are many birds and a couple of foxes around dusk. There is also plenty of space and singing birds."
