We would love to welcome you to Holy Rood Church, which is also known as the Church Of The Holy Rood, on Moorside Road in Swinton. Our Sunday Morning Service starts at 10am; it is usually a service of Sung Eucharist i.e. Holy Communion to a sung setting with hymns, readings and prayers but sometimes is a Service Of The Word. Afterwards you are invited to join us in the Memorial Hall next to the church for coffee and conversation.
Regrettably the Memorial Hall is not available for hire for any private parties.
Do you enjoy singing? Would you like to join our Church Choir?
* Traditional Hymns

Choir practice 9.30 am on a Sunday Morning before the service begins at 10 am
