Only the tower and part of the walls of the aisles survive. They are located on the crest of a hill on the main road linking Stockport with Manchester. The church remains are recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building, and are under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. ==History== The church was built in 1844–46 on land donated by Wilbraham Egerton of Tatton Park.〔 It cost about £7,000 (equivalent to £}} in ),〔 and was a Commissioners' church, the Church Building Commission providing a grant of £500 towards its building. It was designed by the Manchester architect William Hayley. As originally built, it consisted of a nave, north and south aisles, north and south transepts, a chancel, and a west tower with a spire. By the 1970s the fabric of the church was in very poor condition, including the effects of dry rot. Attempts were made to convert it into a centre for the use of the community, but these were unsuccessful, and in 1977 it was badly damaged by a fire. Following this, it was demolished apart from the tower and spire, and parts of the adjoining walls. The foundations of the other walls have been preserved to show its original plan. None of the fittings or furniture have survived; they were either destroyed in the fire or have been stolen. The five clock bells, made by Warner in 1896, were stolen in 1977.〔 The church was declared redundant on 20 July 1973, and the remains of the church were vested in the Trust on 23 May 1979. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christ Church, Heaton Norris」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
