The Baptistery is centrally situated, at the West end of the Nave, in an arched recess, so as to be free from draughts. Over the arch, in boldly raised Lombardic letters are the words "Walk in newness of life." Round the walls of the recess are the words, "Suffer little children to come unto Me, and forbid them not." The Font, which is made of New Zealand stone, was worked by a man of the name of Sherriff, who formerly lived in Hadfield. During the cotton famine he emigrated to New Zealand. He was a stonemason, and was well known as a good workman. He commenced business at Christ Church, Canterbury, New Zealand, and when he heard that a new Church was to be built in his native place, he resolved to contribute something towards it. He accordingly devoted one hour per day to the working of a Font, and on its completion he sent it - along with a Font Cover, made of New Zealand wood, and beautifully inlaid - from New Zealand to Hadfield Station, carriage paid. In gilt letters are the following texts, cut in the stone : "St. Paul writeth, according to his mercies, God saved us by the washing and renewing of the Holy Ghost;" "Jesus said, except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God;" and on the base the name of the donor is cut as follows: "J. Sherriff, Christ Church, Canterbury, New Zealand." The window in the Baptistery consists of three lights, filled with beautiful stained glass. The upper light depicts the Descent of the Holy Spirit in the form of a Dove. Below, on the left, is depicted the Baptism of Jesus, in the River Jordan, and, on the right, the Baptism of the Ethiopian Eunuch.

The South Transept, which is covered by two roofs running transversly to that of the Nave, has a very picturesque effect, both externally and internally. The light is arranged, as far as possible, so as to come over the shoulders, and on to the books, and not into the eyes of the congregation. In this Transept there is a beautiful stained-glass window, with two representations, one of the Good Samaritan, and the motto, "Jesus said, go and do thou likewise," and the other of a ram caught in a thicket, with the inscription, "The Son of man is come to save that which was lost."

The Nave is mainly lit by a flood of light coming high up at the West end. The avoidance thus of two cross lights much enhances the internal architectural effect. There are, besides, two large windows pierced in each side of the Nave roof, and are generally known as dormers. The benches are low, with open backs, and are made comfortable for kneeling, and also supplied with book and hat shelves. A slim "fleche," or bell turret, marks externally the division between the Nave and the Chancel.

Messrs. Medland and Henry Taylor, of Manchester, were the architects, and Mr. Thomas Wareham, of Hyde, the contractor. The cost of the building was about £4,000, and a considerable portion of that amount was contributed by the Sidebottom family, whilst many of the resident operatives contributed donations of £5 each, and were very energetic in collecting subscriptions. The whole scheme for the erection of the Church was under the direction of a building committee, consisting of the Rev. J. D. Knowles, Glossop; Rev. C. B. Ward, Whitfield; Rev. J. Hadfield, then Curate-in-Charge; the late S. Wood, Esq.; Wm. Sidebottom, Esq., then Mayor of Glossop; Mr. Walker, Mr. John Braddock, and Mr. Wm. Dawson.

Since the Consecration the Church has been much enriched and improved by the addition of the following:-

A large and excellent Organ, with three manuals and independent Pedal Organ. The cost of the instrument was about £650. Neatly engraved on a brass plate, affixed to the front of the Organ which faces the Nave of the Church, are the following words:- "This Organ was presented to Hadfield Church by Jas. Sidebottom, Esq., of Arrowscroft House, Hadfield, in memory of his late Wife, Ellen Pilling Sidebottom, August, 1879."

A handsome Polished Brass Altar Desk, the gift of the J. C. Eastham, Esq., of The Thorns, Hadfield.

A very beautiful and costly Eagle Lectern, of Polished Brass, richly jewelled, bearing the following inscription:- "To the Glory of God and in loving memory of Beatrice Dawson, who fell asleep June 25th, 1895. Presented to St. Andrew's Church, Hadfield, by her Sisters, Whit-Sunday, 1896."

A beautiful three light Stained Glass Window, having the the subject portion in the centre, the two side lights being filled with ornamental work upon quarries with a rich border. The subject is illustrative of the Home at Bethany, and the incident depicted is that described in St. Luke x, verses 38-42. The inscription at the foot of the window is as follows:- " To the Glory of God, and in memory of Mary Hadfield, Wife of the first Vicar of this Church; erected by Parishioners and Friends, A.D. 1900."

A lovely Altar Cloth, of white damask silk, exquisitely embroidered, for use on Festival occasions, the gift of Mrs. Platt and Mrs. Heywood, of Mersey Bank, Hadfield.
