Churches and Cathedrals in Stretton

"Founded in 1092, Chester Cathedral has a rich and varied history, including the largest set of monastic buildings in the UK, a Georgian square and the remains of a Roman barracks. It’s also a centre of musical excellence, hosting orchestral performances, concerts and weekly organ recitals."

"St Luke’s Church, or the Bombed Out Church to the locals, sits proudly at the top of Bold Street and is a great spot for a photograph, especially if you get to head inside. Known as the Bombed Out Church because it no longer has a roof, it makes for an interesting photo for the collection. View this post on Instagram"

"Also known as St. Luke’s Church, the Bombed-Out Church lost its roof during the World War II blitz and has now been transformed into a wedding venue, café and a great spot for pictures. The church is incredible to look around and is also filled with so much history."

"A modest Anglican parish church, originally built in 1832, St. Luke’s was a victim of the Liverpool Blitz in 1941 and now stands as a roofless shell, a monument to those who were lost during the war."

"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."

"The Church is housed within a beautifully converted former church and retains much of its original charm. The venue features a charming Gallery Restaurant, a breezy terrace and bellini bar."

"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."

"Located near River Mersey, Church of Our Lady and Saint Nicholas is a beautiful and one of the oldest churches in Liverpool city. Also known as Liverpool Parish Church, this is listed in the ‘National Heritage List For England’ and considered as a part of Greater Churches Group. Known for its spectacular lantern spire, wooden interior and paintings of eminent artists; this church overwhelms all, who pays a visit here."

"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."

"Tiger Rock Hawker Restaurant is a fusion of Chinese, Thai, Malaysian, Singaporean and Vietnamese cuisines. They serve small plates and bowls full of rich, savoury and flavourful dishes that are authentic from the eastern continent. A family-friendly restaurant, they have regular meals and kids meals."

"Owned by Marc Wilkinson, Fraiche uses modern cooking techniques to create light, contemporary French cuisine. Based in Oxton, this restaurant was recently named number one in the UK by The Sunday Times. The successful eatery only serves about10 diners per evening and books up months in advance."

"Merseyside’s fine-dining star, the tiny Fraiche restaurant is home to an artist behind the pass. Having been rated as a ‘rising star’ by the Michelin guide in 2006 and 2007, the restaurant finally secured the real thing in 2009 and Francophile Marc Wilkinson has since upheld it with ease."

"Located in the village of Oxton, the discreet and understated façade of Fraiche leads you into an intimate, modern space created with a theme of natural elements inspired by the shoreline. With an ever evolving menu, Michelin restaurant Fraiche is consistently fantastic."
