THE CHURCH'S ARCHITECTURE
We have a beautiful church building at St Chrysostoms. In this part of our website you can find out more about the building, its
special features and the church grounds.
The building is in the early English style, and was built to the design of G. T Redmayne, who also designed the College of Art in
Cavendish Street, Manchester, and Dalton Hall, next door to St Chrysostoms. After the disastrous fire of 1904 the rebuilding, under
the guidance of the architect John Ely, was done to Redmayne's original plans, with only some small variations.
Consequently, what is seen today, both outside and inside is the rebuilt church of 1906 with very little alteration.
Although the area which the church serves has changed considerably since the foundation of St Chrysostom's the church itself has
changed very little. It remains significant and prominent in the landscape and life of the area, and it commands a strong and notable
position in the Victoria Park Conservation Area.
The building is a Grade II listed building. The entry in Pevsner's Buildings of England reads:
