The tower dates from the end of the 15th century and was built with the money bequeathed by Sir Edmond Shaa, who died about 1488. He was a local man, who became Lord Mayor of London in the reign of Henry VII and was Court Jeweller. His will also provided for the foundation of Stockport Grammar School. The tower has eight bells. The gallery now used to ring the bells was formerly a minstrels' gallery.

== Parish History ==
In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mottram in Longendale like this:


MOTTRAM-IN-LONGDENDALE (St. Michael), is a '''parish''', in the union of Ashton-under-Lyne, hundred of Macclesfield, and Northern division of the county of Chester; comprising the townships of Godley, Hattersley, Hollingworth, Matley, Mottram, Newton, Stayley, and [[Tintwistle, Cheshire Genealogy|Tintwistle]]; it is 10 miles E by S from Manchester. Within the parish are three stations on the Manchester and Sheffield railway, one about a mile from Mottram, one at Newton and the third at Woodhead. There are places of worship for '''Independents''' and '''Wesleyans'''.<ref>Lewis, Samuel A., ''[http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=51161#s24 A Topographical Dictionary of England]'' (1848). Date Accessed: 2 April 2013</ref>
MOTTRAM, a sub-district in the district of Ashtonunder-Lyne, and county of Chester; containing the townships of Mottram, Hattersley, Hollingworth, and Tintwistle, in Mottram-in-Longdendale parish. Pop. in 1851,9,070; in 1861,7,652. Houses, 1,538.<br>Longendale is from the Old English meaning "dale of the long valley", and Mottram from Old English meaning "place of the speakers" or "place where meetings are held", and known as "Mottrum"by c1220. The full name of Mottram in Longendale was established by 1308 - literally meaning "place where meetings are held in the dale of the long valley".  


Mottram in Longdendale St Michael and All Angels is an Ancient parish in Cheshire and includes Godley, Hattersley, Stayley, Matley, Micklehurst, and Hollingworth.
Evidence of a church at Mottram comes in 1225, when clergy attached to Mottram church were witnesses to local documents. There is some evidence of this earlier building: a Norman barrel font, the initials of a Hollingworth over the north door, a Decorated capital in the Staveley Chapel, an effigy of a knight and his lady also in the Staveley chapel, a ‘scare-devil’ corbel at the base of the west arch, and possibly the chancel arch.  


In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson, Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mottram in Longdendale like this:
The present church dates from the end of 15th century. The building of the tower was supported by a bequest from Sir Edmund Shaa, a native of the area who rose to fame and fortune in London and died in 1488. It is possible that the whole of the outside walls were rebuilt at the same time, perhaps as an enlargement of the existing building. In 1855 the church underwent a major restoration under the direction of local architect E.H. Shellard, during which the height of the nave roof was raised, allowing for much more imposing clerestory windows.


MOTTRAM, a sub-district in the district of Ashton-under-Lyne, and county of Chester; containing the townships of Mottram, Hattersley, Hollingworth, and Tintwistle, in Mottram-in-Longdendale parish. The full name of Mottram in Longdendale was established by 1308 - literally meaning "place where meetings are held in the dale of the long valley".
The church features a fine alabaster pulpit, and several stained glass windows, including a Kempe window dated 1917.

History ==

Mottram in Longendale St Michael and All Angels is an Ancient parish in Cheshire and includes Godley, Hattersley, Stayley, Matley, Micklehurst, and Hollingworth.

The tower dates from the end of the 15th century and was built with the money bequeathed by Sir Edmond Shaa, who died about 1488. He was a local man, who became Lord Mayor of London in the reign of Henry VII and was Court Jeweller. His will also provided for the foundation of Stockport Grammar School. The tower has eight bells. The gallery now used to ring the bells was formerly a minstrels' gallery.

In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Mottram in Longendale like this:

MOTTRAM, a sub-district in the district of Ashtonunder-Lyne, and county of Chester; containing the townships of Mottram, Hattersley, Hollingworth, and Tintwistle, in Mottram-in-Longdendale parish. Pop. in 1851,9,070; in 1861,7,652. Houses, 1,538.
Longendale is from the Old English meaning "dale of the long valley", and Mottram from Old English meaning "place of the speakers" or "place where meetings are held", and known as "Mottrum"by c1220. The full name of Mottram in Longendale was established by 1308 - literally meaning "place where meetings are held in the dale of the long valley".

Evidence of a church at Mottram comes in 1225, when clergy attached to Mottram church were witnesses to local documents. There is some evidence of this earlier building: a Norman barrel font, the initials of a Hollingworth over the north door, a Decorated capital in the Staveley Chapel, an effigy of a knight and his lady also in the Staveley chapel, a ‘scare-devil’ corbel at the base of the west arch, and possibly the chancel arch.

The present church dates from the end of 15th century. The building of the tower was supported by a bequest from Sir Edmund Shaa, a native of the area who rose to fame and fortune in London and died in 1488. It is possible that the whole of the outside walls were rebuilt at the same time, perhaps as an enlargement of the existing building. In 1855 the church underwent a major restoration under the direction of local architect E.H. Shellard, during which the height of the nave roof was raised, allowing for much more imposing clerestory windows.

The church features a fine alabaster pulpit, and several stained glass windows, including a Kempe window dated 1917.
