Easter Sepulchre, St Giles, Cheadle

The Easter sepulchre, based on a medieval tomb in Westminster Abbey.. The Easter sepulchre was a feature of many medieval churches, and was used in the ceremonies of Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Day. Easter Sepulchres were the object of iconoclastic fury by the Protestant Reformers, and few original ones are left. Augustus Pugin, The church designer would have been familiar with the surviving ones especially Hawton and Heckington. Link

Sedilia and Piscina, St. Giles, Cheadle

Modern practice was for the seats to be on one level with the priest sitting in the middle but here Pugin reverted to the medieval arrangement where the priest sits on the left seat, nearest the altar and the deacon and subdeacon sitting to his left on descending levels. Link

Pulpit, St. Giles, Cheadle

To the south of the Lady-chapel altar is the pulpit. This was carved by Thomas Roddis out of a single block of stone. It is in the form of an irregular hexagon with one very broad face on the north side which incorporates a piscina and credence-shelf for the Lady-altar. The carved panels on the Lady-chapel side have statues of St. Francis of Assisi, St. Anthony of Padua and St. Bernadine of Siena, while those on the nave side depict St. John the Baptist, who was Lord Shrewsbury's patron saint. The pulpit is entered by a flight of steps from the sacristy. Link

Tean Hall Mills - Old Hall House

The Phillips brothers bought the house and surrounding land in 1747. A tape weaving mill was built bringing together the outworkers from the cottage industry. Further buildings were erected in the 1770s with a larger mill in 1823 housing steam powered Jacquard looms. The Phillips business survived until the 1970s and the mill closed in the 1980s. The buildings have been converted with a mix of private apartments and social housing.

Tean Hall Mills - Cross Mill

John and Nathaniel Phillips bought the Old Hall House and surrounding land in 1747. A linen tape weaving mill was built bringing together the outworkers from the cottage industry. Further buildings were erected in the 1770s with the impressive Cross Mill built in 1823 to house steam powered Jacquard looms. The building has an iron frame. The Phillips business survived until the 1970s and the mill closed in the 1980s. The buildings have been converted with a mix of private apartments and social housing. This view will soon disappear as the area in front of the mill is developed with modern three storey townhouses. I suppose this is a necessary evil as it helps to pay for the restoration project on the mill buildings.
