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 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.

tour.
