I live about 2 miles from Sale cemetery and work five minutes away from it, and I can confirm there is no chuch attached to the cemetery - hope this helps. Viv
Cemetery Sale Brooklands Cemetery, as it now styles itself, lies on both sides of Marsland Road, near Brooklands Station. The north side is the older and also houses a chapel. The north side also boasts a large number of large and ornate tombs including the unsual Smith family tomb with its stain-glass window. Because the cemetery, which opened in 1862, predated Manchester's Southern Cemetery, many wealthy Manchester families were buried in Sale. Apart from the scientist, J.P. Joule (see below), Richard Pankhurst, of the suffragette family, is buried in Brooklands cemetery. So, too, is Edward Hulton (see below), the newspaper magnate, who resided in Oakfield, Sale, until his death on 28 March, 1904 at the age of sixty-five. Another local worthy whose tomb is here is Samuel Lord, one-time occupant of the vast Oakleigh on The Avenue. He died, aged 86, in 1889. The two parts of the cemetery are connected by a tunnel under the road. In the newer southern section the newer plots include a number of military graves from World War II. http://www.personal.u-net.com/~luso/sale2.htm >From Googling on Sale and Brooklands Cemetery.
