The Anglican Assertion in Lancashire: the Role of the Commissioners' Churches in Three Lancashire Townships, 1818-1856 by Will

Under the Commissioners’ aegis 82 of the 612 new places of worship were planted in Lancashire. The intention is to analyse the rationale and impact of a remarkable church building project and its role in the Anglican initiative in the county. The thesis is the first detailed local study of the churches’ distinctive role, beyond the assessment of their artistic worth. M.H. Port in Six Hundred New Churches (2006) produced the definitive work on the architecture and central administration of “Waterloo Churches”.1 He had less to say on their social and religious importance. In order to explore the rationale, impact and role of the churches, I adopted a case study approach selecting three churches in south central Lancashire, one from each deanery of Manchester Diocese which was created out of Chester Diocese in 1847. -

The First World War Memorial Reredos
The First World War Memorial Reredos Research by: Dr. Jean Galloway Debbie Bradbury Dr. Andrew Bradbury 2 The Christ Church World War I Memorial Project. ince 2011 Christ Church, West Didsbury, has been undergoing major restoration Swork to its roof. Preparatory work started in May 2011, building work started in 2012 and work was completed in early 2018, apart from internal redecoration which cannot take place until the plaster has dried out. The work was 3 times more costly than anticipated owing to the discovery of additional wet and dry rot in the timber and the theft of lead as the work progressed. Thanks to grants from English Heritage (EH) and the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) totalling almost £600,000 it has been possible to complete the work. focal point of the interior of Christ Church is a striking World War 1 memorial A on the east wall behind the altar. It takes the form of a marble and alabaster reredos screen and bears the names of 80 servicemen from the locality who lost their lives. We are now a century past the First World War and the war is being commemorated nationally. As part of grant applications to EH and HLF the parish offered to research the history of those who are named. It seemed important to involve children from two local primary schools in the process so that they could learn about our artistic and military heritage and the sacrifices made for our benefit by individual servicemen and their families. We were fortunate to be awarded one of the grants on this basis. -
“It Was the Heart of the Town”: Two Public Monuments, Cultural Memory and Oral Histories in Walkden and Hastings
“It was the heart of the town”: two public monuments, cultural memory and oral histories in Walkden and Hastings Anthony McIntosh PhD January 2014 The University of Brighton Abstract The importance of the historic built environment to local communities and its ability to foster a sense of place is an issue at the heart of current heritage impact research. This thesis is primarily concerned with how public monuments, as a focus for the localisation of memories and narratives, can contribute to the development of social capital, sense of place, and a sense of community identity. As case studies, the thesis uses two large public monuments significant to the cultural heritage and development of two towns: the Countess of Ellesmere Memorial, Walkden, Greater Manchester, and the Prince Albert Memorial Clock Tower, Hastings, East Sussex. The two monuments were erected on particular sites significant to the history of the towns, sites chosen for their resonance with the development and growth of the local communities. The location of both monuments has been the cause of much controversy and public debate for over a century and their position as objects of local heritage is perhaps as important now as when they were unveiled. As its primary source of data the research study uses oral history interviews in order to analyse how the two monuments are remembered and experienced through accounts of public ceremonials, festivities, and rituals, through specific social norms that have originated in local culture and tradition, and, through the routine activities of everyday life. The analysis of the oral history interviews demonstrates how, through the shaping of kinship and personal narratives, these two public monuments provided a spatial and temporal location for the development of public memory and an associated development of social capital and sense of place.
