THE STORY BEHIND ARTHUR LEE INTERIORS ✨

For more than a century, Arthur Lee Interiors has been part of the fabric of Knutsford.

Trading since 1919, this much-loved family business is now run by the fourth generation of Arthur Lee’s family, with its story woven into the history of the town.

From historic Hollingford House and its connections to Elizabeth Gaskell, to the story of L.S. Lowry’s chair, there’s so much to discover behind the doors of Arthur Lee.

And during Heritage Open Days, you can step inside and discover the story for yourself.

📍 Arthur Lee Interiors, Hollingford House, Toft Road, Knutsford

Explore this historic business and discover how four generations have kept Arthur Lee at the heart of Knutsford while continuing to evolve with the times.

One of Knutsford’s longest-established family-run businesses — and a story well worth discovering.

Then & Now Thursday 📸 | St Cross Church

This week, we’re taking a look at St Cross Church — but did you know the church we see today wasn’t the first one?

⛪️ The first St Cross church

With the support and funding of Peter Legh, the first church was built using materials from his Norbury Booths estate, with local tenants helping with the construction. It was dedicated in 1858, shortly after Peter Legh’s death.

Sadly cracks developed in the walls from floor to roof, and the building eventually had to be replaced.

⛪️ The second St Cross church

Lord Egerton laid the foundation stone for the new church in July 1880, and it was consecrated on Holy Cross Day, 14th September 1881.

The new church took 10 years to build. The tower was added in 1887 as part of the celebrations for Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee.

And if you look closely at the first photograph, you’ll spot the old cottages on the right. These were demolished by George Acton in 1910 — another little piece of Knutsford that has disappeared over the years.
