In 2017, St George’s Church in conjunction with the National Heritage Lottery created a poppy fall with 2828 knitted poppies in it. Each one represents the men and one woman named on the memorials around Stockport.
The Poppy Fall was produced as part of the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of St Julien on the 31st July 1917, but it was always intended that we would display it on the following Remembrance Sundays as well.
This year, the Poppy Fall will be raised on Sunday 28th October and lowered on Sunday 25th November. Visitors are welcome to come and visit it. Please see the opening times of St George’s below.
