Description of Archaeology and History
By the early 1860’s, the population of the Parish of St James’, of which Moorside was a part, had increased from some 12,000 in 1851 to over 17,000. In response to this need, a school and temporary church was built in 1861 on Northgate Lane by Thomas Mellodew, replacing the old school on Sholver Lane.
The construction of the present church was completed in 1872 and was consecrated on the 20th May in that year by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, the Right Reverend James Fraser in a morning service with Holy Communion.
