St Mary in the Baum Church, Rochdale
Heritage Open Day: Today's Church built in 1910 and consecrated in 1911 was designed by the eminent Scottish church architect Sir John Ninian Comper with a stunning stained glass East window and rood screen. Also, featuring windows from the original church of 1742. Baum (Rochdale dialect for 'balm') refers to the wild flowers which grew in the meadows where the church was built, was thought to be Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) or White Mint.
The church has sometimes wrongly been called ‘St Mary, the Baum’ as if some attribute of Our Lady. Strangely, it has also been wrongly referred to as 'St Mary le Baum' a rare instance of Franglais from the Lancashire mill town.
