New Roman Catholic church, Rusholme, Manchester, 1862. Creator: Unknown
New Roman Catholic church, Rusholme, Manchester, 1862. View of the new Roman Catholic Church [St Edward's Church] just erected in Thurloe-street, Rusholme, one of the suburbs of Manchester. The edifice is wholly built externally with Yorkshire stone "parpoints" and dressings of Hollington stone, and consists of a nave and side aisles, with apsidal chancel, and a lady chapel at the extremity of its south aisle. A tower at the south-western angle serves as a porch, and it is intended to be crowned with an octangular spire about 130ft. high. The style of architecture is Geometric Middle Pointed, the details being treated with considerable originality...The high altar will be of Caen stone, having pillars of serpentine, and a rich tabernacle and canopy. The church will seat about 600 worshippers, and its cost (exclusive of fittings, but inclusive of the spire and architect's commission) will be about £3200, £1000 of which is the gift of two brothers, Messrs. B, and P. O'Connor, of Rusholme. Mr. Edward W. Pugin is the architect; and Mr. John Eaton, of Ashton-under-Lyne, the builder'. The projected spire was never built.
