St Agnes Church is situated on the corner of Slade Lane and Hamilton Road
(M13). Click here for map and directions.
Design
The church was built in 1884 and designed by Medland and Henry Taylor. The
main building material is brick, with a smooth red facing for details etc, and roofs
covered in plain tiles. The interior is also brick with a yellow glazed brick
wainscotting and there is a dominant roof with a complex timber structure.
The north aisle was separated from the nave in 1987 to form a community hall
and the rest of the church was re-ordered at that time.
You can read a detailed description of the building at the Heritage Gateway
webpage for St Agnes here.
Worship Space
In 1987 the high altar was moved from its original position in the chancel to its
present position at the east end of the nave. It is free standing with seats for the
servers and choir on either side.
The chancel area is now the Blessed Sacrament chapel with an informal seating
area. The tabernacle is set in the east wall of this chapel and is visible from the
whole church. On the right of the Sacrament Chapel is a small prayer area with
a statue of Our Lady with the infant Jesus given to the church by the people of
St Joseph's Catholic church Longsight.
A statue of St John the Evangelist from St John's church, Longsight, which
closed in 1999 stands part way down the nave.
From the chancel arch hangs a large cross and near the steps to the Sacrament
chapel is a votive stand with icons.
