| Introduction |
| This article
describes the surviving older churches of the
Liverpool suburbs, Merseyside, Wirral and the
surrounding areas. I have selected those
constructed before 1800 or with significant
pre-1800 remains in the structure. Most of the
region's oldest buildings are churches and, if
you want a direct link to the distant past, where
better to find it? Although many of the buildings
have been restored or partially rebuilt since
1800, this has generally been done with
sensitivity. Unfortunately, it is a sign of the
times that the interiors of most of these
churches are only open to general visitors at
restricted times, if at all. Never mind, because
many are situated in peaceful and atmospheric
grounds of no mean historical interest in
themselves and the external architecture is
wonderful. |
