Description: | The foundation stone was laid by the then Prince of Wales, later to become Edward VII, on St Luke's day, 18th October 1861. A previous chapel at Shireoaks (erected early 1800s) was turned into a schoolroom at that time. The church formed into a parish in 1865 from the parishes of Worksop (Notts) and Anston-cum-Membris (Yorks). The Spire shown here was demolished in 1973 for safety reasons. Now a Grade II listed building, a Heritage Lottery Grant has been awarded (February 2000) to fund urgent repairs. | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | North East Midland Photographic Record | Source: | Picture the Past OAI feed | Creator: | Douglas, G | Identifier: | http://www.picturethepast.org.uk/fronten... | Language: | EN-GB | Format: | JPEG/IMAGE | Go to resource |
