HELP SAVE ST LUKE'S COFE CHURCH APPEAL

The beautiful Grade 2* St Luke's Church, Liverpool Street, Salford also known as "The Church on the Hill" has been looking after it's parishioners' for well over 150 years and with an amazing history, but no now it needs your help.

Designed by eminent Victorian architect, George Gilbert Scott and featuring incredibly beautiful stained glass windows by Charles Eamer Kempe, however it is most probably well known for being the church, where the Suffragette leader, Emmeline Pankhurst got married in 1879.

However the elements have taken their toll on the church over the years and now rain is coming into the church bringing down chunks of plaster and exposing roof spaces in several places.

New roof tiles are urgently needed and so far 150 tiles have been replaced by specialist workmen, who have also removed years of mud and silt from the church gutters which also caused water damage.

The church is sending out an urgent appeal to the people of Salford to help them but purchasing a roof tile for £10, on which your name or a loved one's will be engraved and placed on the church roof.

To be honest this is basically putting a plaster on a hemorrhage and is only a short term remedy to a long term problem and so they are appealing for donations through their Facebook page.

If you can donate no matter how small the amount please give and help save this wonderful church from further damage
