Location
St Agnes Church is situated on the corner of Slade Lane and Hamilton Road (M13).

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.
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.
