The first church by the green


There are many copies of this picture of the old chapel built in 1512 and demolished to make way for the new church in 1800.

 During the archaeological dig carried out by Angus Bateman in the late 1970s and early 80s a few fragments of this building were uncovered.

Another picture to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the church on the green.

Picture; from the collection of Tony Walker, original from Booker John, A History of the Chapels of Didsbury & Chorlton, 1857
