The church is in the Eccles deanery, the archdeaconry of Salford and the diocese of Manchester. Together with St Andrew’s Eccles, St Paul’s, Monton, Christ Church, Patricroft and St James’, Hope the church is part of the team benefice of Eccles.[1] The church was granted Grade I Listed status in 1964.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4Table of ContentsHistory[edit]Architecture[edit]See also[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]History[edit]St Mary’s Church, was in medieval times, the centre of a large ecclesiastical parish containing Pendleton, Pendlebury, Clifton, Swinton, Worsley and Barton-upon-Irwell. To the west the parish covered a portion of Chat Moss to the River Glaze and was bounded by the River Irwell to its north and east. The church is of ancient origin and was the only church in the parish for several hundred years. A church has occupied its site since Norman times and probably before then. The church contains few remains of its earliest incarnation but the tower base and west end of the north aisle are from the 13th century. The 14th century structure was enlarged in the 15th century and the chancel was reconstructed in the 16th century and rebuilt in 1862 by J P Holden.[3]Architecture[edit]The church is constructed in red ashlar sandstone with slate roofs. Constructed on a weathered plinth, the church has buttresses and castellated parapets, a three-stage west tower, a four-bay nave and aisles and the remodelled four-bay chancel has a clerestory. The gabled south transept was originally a chantry chapel and it has a gabled south porch. The south aisle windows have four lights with Perpendicular tracery while the north aisle have five lights, as do the clerestory windows.[2]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4The 16th century ‘Entry to Jerusalem’ window originated in Rouen, France, and was installed in the now-demolished St John’s Church, Manchester prior to being sited at Eccles in 1929.
