Blue plaque № 30747

Rochdale, Rochdale, England, United Kingdom

Church Steps pre-1660, repaired 19th century. Possibly dating back to the 12th century, these steps have been the key route linking the town centre to the Church of St Chad for hundreds of years. Mourning relatives would climb these steps and scatter rue & rosemary in 'God's Acre' (St Chad's Churchy

ard) as an offering, to ease the spirits of their loved ones.
