Two new books on the history of Mossley's St George's Church have proved so popular they have had to be reprinted.
The History and Guide of St George’s Church and the Guided Tour of St George’s Churchyard are being sold as a fundraiser for the town’s parish church.
The History and Guide of St George’s Church reveals the background of the building of both the original and the present church.
The 124-page book tells the life stories of each of the vicars who have served at St George’s; the stained glass windows; members of the choir; the Mothers’ Union, and some of the bell ringers.
The Guided Tour of St George’s Churchyard reveals the life stories of many of the famous, extraordinary, and everyday people of Mossley, including: Mayors of Mossley, JPs, farmers, innkeepers, mill owners, shopkeepers, schoolmasters, musicians, poets, and those killed in coal mining accidents at Broadcarr Colliery.
The books are sold as a set for £20.
The Vicar of Mossley, Rev David Warner said: “I’m very proud and delighted by the new guidebooks - the archives have been fully sorted and filed, revealing endless treasures we didn’t know we had! These books have something for everyone and show just how deeply woven into the pages of Mossley history our churches are!”
