Church Of St Chrysostom

The Church of St Chrysostom, located on Conyngham Road in Rusholme, Manchester, was built between 1874 and 1877 by architect G.T. Redmayne. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features slate roofs with red cockscomb ridging tiles, showcasing an Early English style. The church consists of a nave and chancel combined, oriented from north-west to south-east, with the chancel at the south end. It includes east and west aisles, a small tower at the angle of the east aisle, a porch at the north end of the west aisle, and a chapel attached to the west side of the chancel.

The principal facade is the north gable, which has buttresses on either side of a shallow gabled porch. This porch features a 2-centred arch with deeply chamfered jambs and five orders of chamfer at the head. At the apex of the gable, there is a colonnetted canopy that supports a statue. The facade also includes two 2-centred arched 2-light windows with cusped lights and multifoil tracery, along with a very small lancet window above.

The nave is supported by buttresses that break through the roofs of the aisles, and it has small lancet clerestory windows, typically two per bay. The aisles contain lancet windows arranged in arcaded groups of two and three. The gabled porch on the west side features a 2-centred arched doorway with chamfered jambs and three orders of chamfer, a hoodmould with run-out ends, and a small cusped niche that holds a cross. The chapel, which has two bays and runs parallel to the chancel, features stepped triple-lancets under gables that break the eaves, along with a traceried oculus in the gable. The south-east tower has an octagonal belfry stage supported by buttresses, with louvred lancets and a short spire. The interior has not been inspected.
