Roe Green Independent Methodist Church

Roe Green Church is situated in the quaint village (of Roe Green!) just off the East Lancashire Road, near Worsley. The church recently celebrated its bi-centenary, having been established in 1808. A plaque on the wall informs us that "The distinguished England cricketers JT Tyldesley (1874), Earnest Tyldesley (1889) and Michael Vaughan (1976) were all baptised in this chapel" (Image]). The Tyldesley brothers are famed in the annals of Lancashire cricket, whilst Mr Vaughan found fame over the border with the white rose county - however we can forgive him as he did captain England's successful team in the 2005 Ashes series, England's first Ashes victory since 1986/7.
