Heritage Centre in St. Mary's Church Display of Children's Clothes  Having suffered from a fire caused by vandals, the Choir Vestry had been redecorated and offered to Stockport Heritage Trust to house a temporary exhibition. 
Choir Vestry after the Arsonists Struck After a swift begging run around local companies and searching our houses for items of interest, the first exhibition was put together, and the Heritage Centre opened to the public on 28th August 1999.  
The Mayor cut the ribbon to officially open the Centre. Rev. Roger Scoones, Rector of St. Mary's, showed off the newly refurbished Choir Vestry. (Pictures by Phil Rowbotham) Interest was so great, that many new volunteers joined us, and the exhibition and collection expanded, bringing many new people into the church. 
Locals and Tourists alike now call in for family tree research, local history information, or just a good nosey around the many different items we have on display! We are open on market days Tues, Fri & Sat 10.30 - 3.30pm. You can get to us through the beautiful church, along the aisle and left before the altar, or there is direct access by a small back door on the left hand side. 
This year will see our 10th Anniversary Birthday Bash which is currently in the planning phase, so check back for details and come and join us for the celebrations!
