      St Chad's Church Saddleworth (Picture in scrapbook)

      Saddleworth church - dedicated to St Chad - has a sighting legend associated with it. It is said that the original site for the church was on nearby Brown Hill, but every night the stones were mysteriously moved to their present location. Eventually the builders gave up moving the stones back to Brown Hill, and built it where the stones were placed. The fairies (who were held responsible for the nocturnal moving of the stones) were said to have been driven out of Saddleworth when the church received its bells. The loud chiming knocked the smaller fairy bells out of tune, and they went off in a "huff" over Stanedge towards Marsden, Sliathwaite and other districts.

      The church is also reputed to be haunted by a Grey Lady, and has some other interesting features. There is an ancient pair of stocks situated outside the church, and the Church Green is the scene of some old Saddleworth folk festivals including Morris Dancing and the Rush Cart Ceremony.
