About Marple
All Saints’ is the largest of the two worship centres in the parish. Standing at the top of Church Lane, it has served the community since around 1630, albeit in the early days as a place to settle debts.

The parish
All Saints’ parish covers a large proportion of Marple, a small town in the metropolitan borough of Stockport, Greater Manchester.

It is at the very edge of the Greater Manchester sprawl and is to be found facing the Pennines. There is another Anglican church in lower Marple called Saint Martin's. The two parishes work together to serve and reach out to the community.

Originally in Cheshire, local government reorganisation of the 1980s put Marple in Greater Manchester, but the Marple parish still belongs to the Cheshire diocese, and many Marple people feel that they still belong to that county.

Marple
Marple is a mixture of old village, commuter and Manchester and Stockport overspill. It has five primary schools, one comprehensive school and a sixth form college. Stockport is the official urban centre but many see Manchester as the main city.
 

All Saints’ Church

All Saints’ also works closely with the other denominations: Methodist, United Reformed, Roman Catholic, and Independent Evangelical. It is linked with a church school, All Saints’ Primary, but is involved with all of the local schools.
