On a recent visit to Cheadle Staffs, we had a mission to visit the Roman catholic church of St Giles. Our first glimse was the 200 feet high spire which dominates the small market town. The interior of the church is not beautiful but very rich in colour and design. Built in 1846 with the generosity of the 16th Earl of Shrewsbury living in nearby Alton towers, it was designed by Pugin with no expense spared. I hope the images will inspire you to go and see for yourself, but go armed with £1 coins to operate the lights!
On a cold day there were lots of nice teashops and a small indoor market in the town.
Also an interesting reclamation yard nearby which warrants another visit to this area for photographic opportunity.
