You've probably walked near to it without even realising it's there
A church tucked away in the heart of Manchester’s city centre has been named the top ‘hidden gem’ in the world, according to a new study. St Mary’s Church topped a global list of ‘hidden gem’ tourist attractions, beating locations in the USA, Australia and France.
Surrounded by shiny office blocks and buzzing bars and restaurants, the picturesque red-brick church provides an oasis of calm for worshippers and visitors alike. With a breathtakingly ornate interior that’s even more impressive than the outside, it’s no wonder the church topped the list.It also features a nationally acclaimed work of art, the Adams Stations of the Cross. The abstract-style paintings aren’t what you’d usually expect from a church, adding to its unique character.
Overall England ranked first the country with the most hidden gems, with 217, with St Mary’s Church being the top one. The US came second, boasting 203 hidden gems while in third place was Ireland with 40.
