Chester Churches
« on: Tuesday 19 October 10 09:28 BST (UK) »
Good morning all  :) - call all Chester experts

There's a Church in Chester which stands at the junction of Pepper Street and Bridge Street that is now a Heritage Centre.

Can someone tell who the Church used to be dedicated to please?

Many thanks

HI Jan
The Name of the Church is St Michael's.Info off Wikipedia as follows St Michael's is a redundant church that stands on the corner off Bridge St & Pepper St it is now a Heritage Centre.

Hello Doreen and Pughy

It would appear the Church of St Bridget and St Kathleen(?) no longer stands.  I found this online ref:

http://www.virtualchester.org/view/view_image.php?id=225

But at least I now have an idea of what the Church looked like and I will try and get a google image for the magistrates building which was built on the site.

Many thanks for your help.

Kind regards
Jan  :)
