Church History

Built in 1834 as a chapel to West Kirby: St. Bridget. On 26 July 1860 it became the district church for the townships of Great Meols, Hoose, and Little Meols, and parts of the townships of Grange and Newton cum Larton (previously served by West Kirby: St. Bridget). The district included the chapel of Hoylake: St. Hildeburgh.

The district was affected by the following boundary changes:

  • 1889 July 9 — reduced when the following area was transferred to West Kirby: St. Bridget: "All that part of the said new parish of the Holy Trinity-in-Hoose otherwise known as the Holy Trinity Hoylake which is bounded upon the south-east by the parish of West Kirby aforesaid upon the west by the high water mark of ordinary tides upon the sea shore, or in other words by the western boundary of the said now parish of the Holy Trinity-in-Hoose otherwise known as the Holy Trinity Hoylake and upon the remaining side that is to say upon the north by an imaginary straight line extending due east and west from a boundary stone inscribed 'H. H. T. N. P. 1889 ' and placed on the western s ide of the main road from West Kirby to Hoylake near to the entrance from the said road to the house calied or known as 'Maddock's House', the said imaginary straight line terminating qn the west upon the western boundary of the said new parish of the Holy Trinity-in-Hoose otherwise known as the Holy Trinity Hoylake at the said high water mark of ordinary tides upon the sea shore, and terminating on the east upon the south-eastern boundary of the said new parish which boundary divides the same new parish from the parish of West Kirby aforesaid."
  • 1937 October 26 — reduced when an area was transferred to Great Meols: St. John the Baptist.

The original church was replaced by a new structure in 1974.
