Barbeque at the Rectory
On Saturday 11 July, about 50 of us met at the Rectory for a fantastic social event. The threatened rain held off.When the cooking was completed, we taught the younger children how to burn incense, by giving each a few grains of incense to throw on the glowing charcoal embers.
Welcome to our blog!
The current church was built in 1830-1834, and replaced an earlier, medieval church. Oldham Parish Church is therefore not the oldest church in Oldham. It is, however, the largest and most beautiful.
