Heritage Open Day: St Peter's Church is situated in Leigh Greater Manchester and is a Grade II* listed building built in 1881. One of the most interesting features in our church is the pulpit, which came from Manchester Catherdal during the Second World War. St Peter's Church is an Austin Palen design. As well as being a beautiful church, we also have a World War I war memorial which is believed to be one of the best in the North West, which is also listed.
