Shred Mission Church

Shred (traditionally known as Upper Slaithwaite Church) is part of the Parish of St James in Slaithwaite and has a thriving Sunday School every week. I’m told the name Shred comes from the ‘shred of land’ that was made available for the building and the founding of a Sunday School in Upper Slaithwaite. The building is gorgeous – a beautiful little chapel with stunning views of the valley to the South… yes, a South facing garden.

In addition to Sunday School, Shred has a family service once a month: time and date will be updated on this website’s front page: here
