Scene Description: Source caption: "The Parish Church of Saint Katharine Blackrod [...] The first recorded evidence of a church in Blackrod is in the Manchester Diocesan Calendar which says that a church existed in 1138. Most of the present church was rebuilt in the early 1900s, replacing an earlier church. The oldest part of the church is the lower tower which was part of a church built during the reign of Elizabeth I."
