About St Matthew's Church, Chapel Allerton

The present church was constructed in 1897–98, replacing a smaller predecessor that later became derelict and was demolished in 1935. George Frederick Bodley designed the building, which was erected by the Bristol firm Stephens and Baslow using ashlar of Bath and Ancaster stone.
