St Edmund's, Falinge (2020)
Edmund Street, Greater Manchester, OL12 6QF
Tucked away in a quiet corner of Rochdale the extraordinary church of St Edmund's may look like many other Victorian parish churches. On closer inspection it reveals a fascinating blend of gothic revival architecture and Masonic symbolism.
Described by Pevsner as “Rochdale's Temple to Freemasonry”, this fascinating building was created for wealthy Victorian industrialist and Freemason Albert Hudson Royds in 1870-3 by the Architects James Medland and Henry Taylor.
A Volunteer will be onsite throughout, but please enjoy a self-led visit inside the church or discover Hidden Nature outside.
