GE Street, St Peter’s Swinton and the Heywood family

A visit to St Peter’s Church, Swinton, Manchester in honour of GE Street’s bicentenary (albeit a year late!) and his connection with the Heywood family. An opportunity to visit one of the few Street churches in Greater Manchester, a building of the highest quality (including windows by Christopher Whall) paid for by the Hey wood family of Manchester bankers, and builders of several notable churches in Salford and Swinton. The visit will include a talk on the Heywoods as church builders, particularly their relationship with Street, and a tour of the church.
