The foundation stone was laid on Easter Tuesday, 25 April 1848 and was consecrated on 21 July 1849, opening on 30 July 1849. The Church seats about 600 people. The belfry and clock were added in 1910. The Eight Church Bells were installed in 1948 as a memorial to those parishioners who lost their lives in the war, and to celebrate the church's centenary. Fred Horsfield trained the opening band of ringers from young people of the parish. The average age of the opening band of ringers was 14 years. The church porch was widened in November 1971 with contributions from St. Peter's Scout Group, and the family of Mrs Ann Shenton, and members of the congregation. Located 900 yards SSE of Macclesfield Town Hall.
