St Marys Oldham The earliest Catholic church in Oldham, built in 1839 and an early design by M. E. Hadfield. Some of this early church survives, greatly overlaid and extended later in the nineteenth century. Furnishings of note include a fine 1920s Gothic high altar and reredos by Ferdinand...

The history is quite limited on this one, having checked canmore and BARR. However the information available does tell us that the church was opened on the 2nd December 1858 by the Reverend Dr Guthrie of Edinburgh. A gentleman by the name of MacDonald (unsure of who this was) described the...

St Mary's Church I'm not usually one to get excited over church ruins, yes they're nice and all that, but often they're not really report worthy. St Mary's in Tintern I found different though, it has some really charming features, and I was lucky enough to go in autumn, so the colours on the...

I have posted 3 previous reports from 2016, so as a newbie on here, I thought I would now mix it up and post some 2017. My back catalogue is over 15 yrs. But I will try and stay with places still in existence. Shame I didn't join fully years ago, as I had some great explores of places no longer...

2nd of 4 visits today with @BrainL and a non member today, was a tricky little access but worth it in the end. Bit of an empty shell now but still worth it. History - Mount St Mary's is one of the architectural treasures of the city of Leeds. It is a grade two listed building dating from 1853...

Visited with @The Stig, @KM_Punk and @The Wombat Final day on the Leicester visit found us in Melton for a few hours. St. Mary’s was originally a work house and later turned into a hospital, this place, unlike most others, retained some of it's original features from it's Workhouse origins...

Third & final report from Father Hudsons! Have previously reported on St Gerrards hospital & St Edwards boys home / orphanage. Perhaps not as interesting as the other buildings on the site, but I felt they still deserved sharing with the community. We also visited St Philomena’s, but this...
