St Margaret's Church, Dunham Massey Parish
ST MARGARET’S CHURCH, DUNHAM MASSEY PARISH PROFILE Introduction St Margaret’s Church is in the Benefice of Dunham Massey in the Diocese of Chester. It is located on the edge of Altrincham, an ancient market town, which is now an affluent commuter town with exceptional transport links to Manchester and elsewhere in the North West. Altrincham is served by excellent rail and tram links to Manchester, as well as easy access to the M6 and M56, and is within a short drive of Manchester Airport. Voted the ‘Best High Street’ in the UK in 2019, it is renowned for its schools at all stages and numerous leisure facilities. The church and vicarage are within easy walking distance of this vibrant town centre. St Margaret’s Church Commissioned by George Harry Grey, 7th Earl of Stamford and designed by architect William Hayley, the building was dedicated in memory of Lord Stamford’s sister Margaret; construction began in 1851 and was completed in 1855. St. Margaret’s is grade II* listed. The building’s architectural style is perpendicular, and it is brick built with Yorkshire stone wall-facings. The interior is most impressive, including a hammer beam roof with carved angels, modelled on Westminster Hall in London. A large reredos, modelled on the Henry VII chapel in Westminster Abbey, and an elegant plaster sanctuary ceiling are other notable features. The tower has a peal of ten bells cast in 1854 by John Taylor. St Margaret’s Church – interior and exterior photographs 1 Notable Clergy and Congregation The Reverend Hewlett Johnson, who later became the’ Red Dean’ of Canterbury, was the incumbent from 1908 – 1919.
