Welcome
to the home page of Catholics in Glossop
comprising the two parishes of St. Mary Crowned and All
Saints. Glossop is a small town in the High Peak District
of England, about 10 miles from the city of Manchester. It
has a rich Catholic tradition, being the seat of the Duke of
Norfolk and home to a large number of Catholic families who
helped to build Glossop into a thriving mill town in the
Victorian period. |
St.
Mary Crowned, Glossop
is the largest Catholic non-cathedral church in the
north of England.
Completed in 1886 and built from local stone,
this impressive building has many fine architectural
features both inside and out.
The church is open to visitors on Saturdays from
May to October for sightseeing.
|
All
Saints, Old Glossop
is the original Catholic church in Glossop, funded by the
Duke of Norfolk and built on his lands in 1836.
Solidly constructed from stone in the elegant
Georgian style, it mirrors the design of St. Paul’s church
in Covent Garden. |
