St John the Baptist Church

Dowling Street, Rochdale, Greater Manchester, OL11 1EX

  • Multiple dates available
  • In person
  • Pre-booking not required

The Church contains one of the largest pieces of artwork in the North West.

The Eric Newton (Oppenheimer) mosaic surrounding the high alter depicting Christ the King is dramatic and thought provoking. The mosaic was restored in 2022/23 with the help of lottery funding. The Church itself is iconic with its large white dome.
