Heronsgate: St. John's Church
Heronsgate was the first estate developed by the Chartists in 1845 and was initially named O'Connorville after their leader, Feargus O'Connor. 35 cottages and a school were built. Town-dwellers from the north of England were re-settled initially at subsidised rents and the street names, Stockport Road, Nottingham Road, Halifax Road and Bradford Road reflect their origins. The ban on alcohol which was imposed at that time gave rise to the nearby public house being named "The Land of Liberty, Peace and Plenty". An image of this pub is here ImageThis image is of the small church dedicated to St. John at the junction of Stockport Road and Halifax Road North.

St John's Church Heronsgate
The church originally served the Chartist settlement of Heronsgate. Chartist settlements date from around 1845. Their aim was to set up factory workers with small holdings so that they would become eligible to vote. Looking at the 1:25000 OS map of Heronsgate today, it is obvious that it was originally laid out as a number of small plots suitable for agriculture. It is ironic that for a settlement developed to help the poor working class, the current residents are among the most affluent in the country.
