St Catherine's Church, Over Alderley, Anglican church in Over Alderley, England
St Catherine's Church features an octagonal tower constructed from red brick with buff sandstone dressings and a Kerridge stone-slate roof.
Built in 1840 as a private chapel for the Hibbert family, the church received its Grade II* listed building status for its architectural significance.
The interior contains furnishings and stained glass from Germany and the Netherlands, including a 1686 pulpit and medieval eagle lectern.
Located on Birtles Lane near Birtles Hall, the church maintains regular services and belongs to the Diocese of Chester.
Eight bells installed in 1895 by the Hibbert sisters provide a full octave, complementing two brass chandeliers modeled after Milan Cathedral.
