A CHURCH shaken to its foundations by motorway traffic is no longer on the road to ruin.

CHURCH'S PRAYERS ANSWERED

Two years ago the Grade I listed Parish Church of St Anne in Denton was placed on an atrisk register.

Built in 1880 and a Victorian gothic architectural gem with a stunning interior the building's future was put in jeopardy by the endless thunder of traffic from the nearby M67. Vibrations from the motorway caused settlement around the font and central nave walkway.

But thanks to a £220,000 grant from National Highways it is now on a sound footing. Important improvements to safety and public access, as well conservation work have been done in partnership with Historic England.
