St Stephens Square and St Stephens Church
In St Stephens Square where the church took pride of place nothing remains of the Church except the Vicarage now known as St Stephens Lodge which can be found on the corner of Hankey Place and Manciple Street.
The Church was consecrated on the 27 April 1850 and cost the Church Commissioners £5,650 and was built in a very simple Gothic Style, the architect being S S Teulon.
It had its Organ to the south end and a Tower to the north end. St Stephens ceased to function as a place of worship in 1961 and was made redundant in 1964 and was demolished in 1965.
Shortly before demolition took place the band "Dave Clarke Five" shot part of the film " Catch us if You Can" in the Church
During the demolition the Organ was sold for £100 to Christ Of Kings Church Salford which was being rebuilt and the bell and other furnishings were sold for scrap.
