Church of All Souls, Manchester, Grade II listed church in Ancoats, England
Description
The Church of All Souls stands at the intersection of Every Street and Harding Street, constructed from brown brick and stone dressing in Romanesque style. The building was later adapted to serve as a community hub, now operating as the Manchester Miracle Centre with varied programs and services.
History
The building was completed in 1840 under architect William Hayley and served as a church until closing in 1981. After its religious use ended, it passed through several different occupants before becoming its current community facility.
Culture
The building displays Neo-Norman architectural features with round-topped doors and windows, plus decorative dogtooth carvings above the entrances. These details shape how the structure looks and feels to visitors today.
Practical
The building is easy to locate at the corner of two main streets and now operates as a community hub. Be aware that opening times and accessibility may vary depending on ongoing activities and programs being held there.
Did you know?
After closing as a church, a carpenter used the building as a workshop before it took on its current role. This unexpected interim use shows how the structure was adapted by the local community.
