St Martin

It was founded in 1943. The church began from an old wooden billiard hall on the same site which was later burnt down. A nissen hut replaced it for some years until the building that the church now is was built. The name St Martin's was after the first curate named Martin Cooper. At that time no marriages christening or funerals were possible. Everything was performed at St Mary's Droylsden. In 1956 the curate was Geoffry Dibbs. Some years later Martin Cooper went on the be the minister at St Ann's Manchester.

Attached to the church is a thriving community space which is used every day by groups which cater for all ages. By keeping the rents low groups can attract members who would otherwise not be able to afford to attend. Indeed some of the activities are run free of charge, only asking for voluntary donations.
