Description

St Thomas Church at Heights Lane, Friarmere

A simple mid 18th century Church on a hillside overlooking Delph. The Church was built beginning in 1765 probably using the labour of the parishioners who dubbed it 'Heights Chapel'. It was intended as a chapel of ease for parishioners unable to travel to the Parish Church at Saddleworth.

This Church was also featured the the BBC television 2008 series 'Survivors'series It depicts the lives of a group of people who survived a virulent strain of heretofore unknown influenza which has wiped out most of the human race. According to the producers, the series is not a remake of the popular 1970s BBC television series Survivors (1975–1977), created by Terry Nation
