Flixton Church - St. Michael's
The original church on this site was first recorded in 1150 when the Lord of Manchester gave it away as part of his daughter's dowry.
All very pretty ....

Flixton Church - St. Michael's
A visit to my grandparents grave last week saw us visiting St. Michael's church in Flixton.
Unfortunately it was the only gravestone in the graveyard to have fallen down - no doubt due to a health and safety push test.
The graveyard is very neat and not as I remember it some years ago when it was a rather tangled mess.
