Monton
The clerestory windows on the north side show famous men from the Greek, Roman, Renaissance and Modern periods.On the south side, the clerestory windows show representatives from the Early Christian, Roman Catholic, Anglican and nonconformist traditions.When William and Mary acceded to the throne, the Act of Toleration was passed which allowed nonconformity to be practised under licence.In 1698 the Lomax and Fildes families, long-term members of the congregation, bought a plot of land at Monton Green.The congregation's religious views changed from Calvinism through Arianism to the appointment of their first Unitarian minister Harry Toulmin in 1786.However, the embankment on which the station was situated is still there and now forms the starting point of the Recreation Pathways scheme, run by Salford City Council.Bus services also serve the village, while the nearest Metrolink station is in Eccles (approximately 15 minute walk).
