Altrincham, St John
The building
St John’s Church was constructed in the 1860’s, designed by the Manchester Architect, J Medland Taylor, and opened in 1866. The property is Grade II Listed and is of snecked stone construction under a green and blue decorative slate roof. The Church is predominantly single-storey, having a particularly attractive nave formed by tall chamfered arches, supported by stone columns with attractive capitals. The nave has been shortened during the 1990’s due to the rear gallery being blocked up and in so, creating a Parish Hall and first floor Upper Hall occupying the western end of the Church. The Church features some wonderful geometric tracery windows and some excellent stained glass, some by Abbott & Co. The Church also incorporates a kitchen, a steep clock tower, male and female washrooms and partial cellars and extends to approximately 8,559 sq. ft GIA.

How a group buys it
- A reader enters a pledge: a name and an amount, recorded on this page. It is a declaration of intent, not a payment. Nothing is charged, and a pledge may be withdrawn on request.
- When the pledges against the building cover the asking price, together with a reserve for closing costs, title, survey and the first year of upkeep, the page closes and the pledgers are introduced to one another.
- The group settles its legal form: a nonprofit, a co-operative, a land trust, or a single buyer collecting donations. An attorney drafts the instrument, and a title company or solicitor holds the funds in escrow.
- The purchase completes, and the group decides the building's use: worship, a hall, a school, housing, or simple preservation. The deed records the arrangement.
