Originally opened as a Mission for Edenfield Parish
Church in 1906, St Philip’s was built on land
donated by Lieutenant Colonel A. T. Porritt. The
Church, which can seat 250 and built at a cost of
£6,500, was consecrated on 28th May 1927 by the Rev.
Dr J C Hill, Bishop of Hulme. The opening of the
Church also saw the forming of Stubbins as a
separate parish from the mother-parish at Edenfiled.
