A church which is being shook to its foundations by motorway traffic has been placed on an at risk register. The Grade I Parish Church of St Anne in Denton dates from 1880 and is a Victorian gothic architectural gem.
It's stunning interior "projects creativity, individulaity, and opulence" according to Historic England, and is rich in fine craftmanship in glass, iron, stone, and ceramics. But the never ending hum of the nearby M67 is putting its future in jeopardy.
Designed by one of the era’s leading architectural practices, James Medland and Henry Taylor, the church has recently been added to the Heritage at Risk Register following concern about settlement around the font and central nave walkway due to vibrations from the motorway.
