More about this scene

Straddling an unclassified road between Hayfield and Marple, the village of Mellor is noted for its church, which is dedicated to St Thomas. As can be seen from our picture, the church stands on an exposed hill above the village. Though rebuilt in the early 19th century, the church contains an early Norman drum-shaped font, and what is believed to be the oldest wooden pulpit in England.
