My Wedding Day
I was married in St. Peter's Parish Church, Swinton on September 7th, 1957 - one of the happiest days of my life. It was a lovely sunny day and my best friend May Timperley was my bridesmaid. My husband and I had a honeymoon in St. Ann's on Sea and travelled there by train from Moorside Station.
I was christened at St. Peter's in 1935 and attended Sunday School from age 4. When I was confirmed there by the then Bishop of Manchester, Bishop Greer, I carried on attending church to become a Sunday School teacher myself until I was 18.

RE: RE: My Wedding Day
Hello, Sheila:
I am writing from Vancouver Island, Canada.
Recently, I have been gathering photos of the churches that my grandmother, her daughters, her husband and her grandchildren were born, married and buried in. The churches are just amazing! The architecture is breathtaking. I saw that your were married in St. Peter's church in Swinton. I just had to write and comment on your post. What a lovely story. My great grandmother and my great grandfather were also married in St. Peter's. They would have been one of the first couples to be married in the church as it opened in 1869 and my grandparents were married in 1869.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful memories. I enjoyed it so much.
Cathy
