Heritage Weekend Pictures
|
|
The Church was open for the Heritage Weekend,
for the first time this year (2018), on September 7th and 8th. A special
Heritage Service was conducted by the Minister on September 9th. Initiator
and Organiser, Betty Kenyon, ably assisted by Rev. Kate McKenna, Damion
Longford and a host of church-members, had assembled an impressive display
of church-memorabilia, literature and photographs, all of which documented
the 300 years of Unitarian presence in Bury. A recent tidying-session
discovered a World War 1 Roll of Honour for the old Bank Street Chapel - a
list of all those who had served, rather than those who had lost their
lives. Several women's names are included on the list. |
About
Our Church has its origins in the late 17th century, its first chapel being built in 1719. The current building of 1974 is the congregation's fourth in the town.
We are the oldest nonconformist congregation in Bury.
