Overview
Grid reference: SD 805 89
The first church on St Peter’s site was built from 1871-1872 and was designed by Maycock and Bell of Manchester. However, the Church was substantially re-modelled in 1899-1900 by Medlock Taylor after major structural failure of the earlier building. The Taylor brothers were influential architects practising throughout the region in the latter years of the 19th century. Many of their churches are idiosyncratic in style and though not one of the most inventive, St Peter’s reflects some of their creativity. The Church was originally due to have a tower at the western end but was never built. It is however, possible to identify the proposed location by the angular truncation to the west end of the north aisle. Archival documents of St Peters include a report from James Medland Taylor dated 1899 on the condition of the original church. The report comments on the poor quality of the original construction and details that the original architect drawings did not correspond with the build, possibly through lack of architect supervision. This report led to the re-build of St Peter’s which in many respects follows the original form of the church with substantial reconstruction of the church walls. The foundation stone for St Peters was laid on 18th November 1899 by the Earl of Derby. In the early days the church provided sporting facilities such as Sunday School Cricket and tennis. St Peter’s forms part of the parish of Bury, Roch Valley. The parish was formed on 30th November 2010 when, as a result of Bury Deanery’s Pastoral re-organisation, the former parishes of St. Peter, St. Thomas, and Holy Trinity, Bury were combined to form a new parish. There have been slight changes to the boundaries and the estimated population of the new Parish is 14,552
