  • History of St Marys
    The Dawn of Catholicism in North Staffordshire A Cistercian abbey of St Mary by the Trent at Hulton was founded by Henry de Audley in 1223 & soon after they established a grange (farm) at Rushton on the hillside below Cobridge. In 1538 during the Reformation Hulton Abbey was dissolved with its properties taken by the Crown & subsequently sold, but it’s grange at Rushton was the key to the survival & eventual revival of Catholicism in Stoke. Over the next few centuries the grange passed through many hands including the Biddulph & Bagnall families who were both Catholics. In 1688 the grange was ransacked by a Protestant mob as it had become well known as a Catholic centre By the early 18th century Rushton Grange, Cobridge had become a Mass centre but only became a parish in 1760 when Fr Thomas Flynn came to the district as a resident priest, he probably lived in Burslem although said Mass in the Chapel at Rushton Grange that was part of an old Cistercian farm. In 1781 a new chapel was opened on the hill above the Grange, this was St Peter’s Church, Cobridge. Hard as it is for us to comprehend it was not until 1791 that saying Mass became legal & Catholic worship was once more recognised by the laws of England. Then it was not until 1829 following an Act Of Parliament that Catholics received back their civil rights & with it their right to vote. After a period of persecution of almost 300 years was an amazing journey through which all the Parishes in the North of Stoke can trace their roots, roots that go all the way back to St Mary by the Trent way back in 1223.

Some knew what to expect, having experienced this pilgrimage before, but for others, it was brand new. For everyone however, the memories from this special trip would certainly be unique and extraordinary. A mini bus journey to Stanstead airport was full of excitement and trepidation, but before we knew it we were on the plane and on our way to Lourdes! We arrived at the hotel before lunchtime and explored the area before the pilgrimage officially began on the Sunday. Our first duty was to welcome all schools in the Diocese to the introductory Mass, then later on we observed the torchlight procession at the heart of Domain, which was magical. Seeing hundreds of people come together in faith and unity clutching candles, representing their love and commitment was incredible. Other duties throughout the week included leading Grace at the Accueil (this is a hospital based in the Domain, near to the churches.
