Holy Innocents, Fallowfield
Image: © Sue Adair Taken: 28 Oct 2009
One of the few Anglican churches dedicated to the Holy Innocents: these were the children slain by King Herod. The church was built between 1870-72, architects Price & Linklater, on land given by Lord Egerton. The style is Gothic revival and its construction is of sandstone masonry. The tower is topped by an octagonal spire, added around 1880 and the stained glass windows are mostly of the 1890's.
