The Church of England is planning to demolish St. Saviour’s the historic tin church in The Rookery, a village near Kidsgrove.
Believed to be one of the oldest tin churches in the world, St. Saviour’s was erected by miners at Butt Lane in 1868 and moved to The Rookery in 1879.
Local people want to preserve this unique building and re-erect it on a site in Kidsgrove to create a Kidsgrove Heritage Centre.
If you would like to help Save St. Saviour’s and make it a heritage centre, please come to a meeting being held at Kidsgrove Town Hall on Tuesday, June 26th at 7.30 p.m.
