Stanley Heritage Trail Launch – 21st October
You may have already seen or heard about the interpretation board that was installed last month at the site of the old St Peter’s Church. The board has text about the history of St Peter’s Church and its important role in Stanley life. Many Stanley residents will cherish memories of being married there and watching their children being christened, and it is of course a place of memorial for those we have lost in our community. The design of the board was a collaboration between Stanley Residents Group and the church and we are very grateful for generous funds contributed toward it. We hope it is a fitting way to mark the Church’s 200 year anniversary next year. We are very excited to announce :
The Stanley Heritage Trail will be launched on Saturday 21st October
10am-12pm at St Peter’s Church on Lake Lock Road
We very much hope that you will join us to celebrate Stanley’s wonderful and varied history. There will be a mining exhibition, as well as items and memorabilia from the old St Peter’s Church, including some of the stunning misericords and the old clock face. We are inviting local residents to contribute items to a display of artefacts and memorabilia of Stanley history. If you have any such items, please contact stanleyresidentsgroup@gmail.com and we can arrange collection.
Refreshments will be provided at the launch event, and those who can and wish to, can join one of the volunteer-led walks to explore sections of the Trail. For the kids, there will be a Trail hunt for stamps that can be traded for prizes!
