As a way of illustrating my last posting.....in the paper today I have read of a redundant church, St Edmund's in Rochdale. It was paid for by Albert Hudson Royds, a Rochdale businessman/landowner, and Edmund was the name of one of his family. Many on this forum will realise that Albert, Hudson, Edmund and Royds are the names of streets in the Woodnook area, which the Royds family, of Belfield Hall, Rochdale, owned.
