Burnley, St Peter's Church 1895

More about this scene
This photograph shows how the church was extended in the 1850s — at this time there was great demand for pews in St Peter's. It would have been difficult to extend the building, because its site was constrained by the Brun, so the solution was to construct galleries. The Master window, in the middle, is dedicated to the memory of Robert Mosley Master: when he left Burnley after thirty years in 1855, he became Archdeacon of Manchester.
