More about this scene
In 1862 George Charnley Dewhurst, a wealthy Manchester cotton magnate, bought the Oughtrington estates and became a benefactor to the village. He commissioned Slater and Carpenter of London to design St Peter's in the fashionable Gothic style at a cost of £10,000. He became the patron of the church, while Oughtrington became a separate parish from Lymm in 1881.
