Christ Church, West Didsbury

Heritage Open Day: Discover our Alabaster and marble WWI memorial and gain an insight into the consecration and opening of the church. The Church was built in 1881 as a gift to the community from Mr William Roberts of Darleydale and cost £13,000. It was, for many years, known as ‘Christ Church-in-the-fields’ due to its placement in a semi-rural setting.
• Come and see the beautiful alabaster and marble WWI memorial. This was erected in the early 1920s in the form of a reredos in the late Arts and Crafts style
• Victorian records and documents giving an insight into the consecration and opening of the church in 1882

Open from 1000 to 1600 on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th September only. Visitors are also welcome to attend the Sunday morning service at 1100 on 14th September. Disabled access.
