Bowdon, Church Of St Mary The Virgin 1913

More about this scene

This view shows the four-stage west tower. Because of the height of the clerestory, the east-facing clock face had to be sited higher up the tower than those on the other sides. The architect responsible for the rebuilding St Mary's was W H Brakespeare, who, in the 1870s, also designed the since-demolished St Paul's Methodist Church, Enville Road.

Three generations of my family have lived in Bowdon. One of the small cottages on the left of the picture was my first home. I was Christened and Married at St. Mary's Church. My Great Grandparents, Grandparents, Parents, and my Sister are all buried in the Church yard.
