St Margaret's Church, Altrincham
The church was commissioned by George Harry Grey 7th Earl of Stamford and was dedicated in memory of his sister Margaret. Construction began in 1851.
The church is built with Yorkshire wall stone facings. It was extended in 1923 to the west but never finished, hence bare brickwork. The interior is impressive, a hammer beam roof with carved angels (modelled on Westminster Hall in London), a huge reredos modelled on the Henry VII chapel in Westminster and an elegant plaster sanctuary ceiling. The tower has a peal of ten bells cast in 1854 by John Taylor. The final Earl of Stamford Roger Grey was a friend of the Emperor of Ethiopia Haille Selassie who worshipped here on his visits to the hall at Dunham.

School sign in Altrincham
Like its fellow boys' Catholic grammar school in Hale Barns, Loreto sets high standards, both morally and academically: it is a specialist in Mathematics. Over the years, teaching staff have become secular and the nuns have taken up residence in separate quarters nearby. The school motto - barely visible on the crest - is "Cruci dum spire fido" i.e. "While I live, I trust in the Cross" - very apt for the pupils of a Christian Faith school.

Loreto Convent, Bowdon
Ahead, in the photo, is the original building that housed both nuns and pupils in the early days. As time went by, the school expanded on the site until the Prep. School - which had taken both Catholic girls and boys up to the age of eight - was split off and moved to new premises further down Dunham Road.
In the 1950s, boys completing their Preparatory schooling here moved to the likes of St Ambrose, Hale Barns, to continue their education.
Several years ago, one of the teaching nuns from that era - Sister John Baptist - reached her 100th birthday, which was celebrated with a Mass at nearby St Vincent's church. Some of her old pupils present were of retirement age!
