Ceiling. Oldham.
Church of St Mary with St Peter, Oldham, Lancashire. Although there has been a church on this site for centuries the latest re-building was in Victorian times. In the 20th century the interior was made very plain by painting over the Victorian decoration but, in the 1970's, the church architect, Stephen Dykes Bower was employed, with his team of craftsmen, to take the fabric back to what it would have looked like in Victorian times. The craftsmanship is of a very high standard and the results are spectacular.
