(6) All Saints Church
The original spire was destroyed in a storm in 1894. Once standing amongst open fields the current church is now completely surrounded by shops and houses and busy traffic on Church Road. Church Road (formerly Church Lane) also features the Church Inn, Vicarage, Parish rooms, All Saints Church Hall, Cheadle Hulme School and a number of good old fashioned shops including suppliers of newspapers, alcohol, sandwiches, and housewares. The latter (Snapes) still competes well with the major hardware megastores.
