A church has existed in Tattenhall since 1300AD and without doubt on this same site since the early years of the sixteenth century. The tower is the only part of the current building that dates back to that time; the rest of the building - ‘having fallen into great decay’ - was demolished and rebuilt in 1869-70. The present building, the work of John Douglas, is notable for its scale and proportion. It is a building to be enjoyed not only by regular churchgoers but others; those who wish to use it for important occasions such as weddings or funerals, by local residents who want to preserve a part of their local heritage, by people who have moved away from the area but remain interested and by people who want a special setting for an art exhibition or a musical concert.
The Friends of St Alban’s has been set up to repair, maintain and improve the building and its grounds. It is separate from the Parochial Church Council and as such will raise funds and spend money only on the structure and grounds. We are determined not to allow this building to go the way of its predecessor. If you have an interest in the preservation of the church, we invite you to become a Friend of St Alban’s Church Building, Tattenhall. To become a Friend of St Alban’s, please complete the membership application form and return it to Acorn House, 17 Oaklands Ave., Tattenhall. 01829 770377.
