The site of Holy Epiphany church
Image: © John S Turner Taken: 24 Dec 2010
In between the roadside hedge and the angled hedge on the right is a triangular plot that was once the site of the Holy Epiphany church, parish of Lache cum Saltney. The church was consecrated on the 9th January 1855, and the plot is in Cheshire, with the national boundary with Wales running through the camera position. At that time the location of the church was some distance from the centre of population and so in 1893 the church of St. Mark was consecrated on the corner of St Mark's Road and Hough Green. Holy Epiphany is not recorded on the 1899 O.S. map so presumably it had been demolished by then. Today the plot is just a field grazed by sheep.
