In this stub one of the main churches in the town is referred to as Catholic and the other as Protestant. This, whilst technically not incorrect, perpetuates an 18th century prejudice that is now rejected by most Christians. The older church belongs to the Church of England, which church will readily point out that in its Book of Common Prayer dating from 1549 and 1662 the word Catholic occurs favourably many times and the word protestant not even once. It is normal these days to call it the Anglican church. The two churches in Cheadle are both dedicated to Saint Giles and readily come together with other churches in ecumenical ventures.

Would there be any objection to the substitution of Anglican for Protestant?

I've removed this section because the text was lifted wholesale from the schools' websites. As well as being uncyclopedic, it was a possible copyright violation.
