A visit to Chadkirk

Last week on a free day I decided to get my train 'fix' with a visit to Chadkirk on an estate situated north east of Stockport in the lovely Goyt valley. I had heard of this church dedicated to St Chad, a celtic saint who was a missionary in this area in 7th century, from my connections with the Community of Aidan and Hilda. I 'railed' from Congleton to Manchester and then on to Romiley. It was only a short walk down a steep hill to the church and walled garden backed by woods. A wonderfully peaceful place to commune with one's maker. The walks were interesting with lots of interpretive boards about the cotton industy in the past.
