New Jerusalem Church, Stand Lane, Radcliffe Bridge, near Manchester

The New Jerusalem Church, Stand‑lane, was opened on Wednesday week (July 28th). The new church, which stands upon the site of the old one, is in the Free Classic style, from designs by Mr Thomas Thorpe, (sic) architect, of Whitefield. It is of stone externally; the dressings are from the Slaithwaite quarries, and are polished, and the wall‑spaces are filled in with Lightcliff parpoints. The whole of the woodwork is of varnished pitch‑pine, except vestibule and communion furniture, which are of polished oak, and has been executed by Mr. John Allen, of Radcliffe. Messrs Williams and Hope, of Dinting, have been contractors for the masonry. The cost of the church is nearly £5,000.
