St Michael's and All Angels
Church, Mottram, Cheshire
First mentioned in 1291, the church
is built of Tintwistle Knarr gritstone. It stands on War
Hill, named after a local conflict between supporters of
Matilda and those of her cousin Stephen, grandson of William
the Conqueror. As you approach the church from War Hill,
there are Goddard and Rhodes graves to be found about two
rows back on the left. Also look for the Bodysnatchers Grave,
20 paces from the boilerhouse door. |
