It has a massive graveyard with tombs dating back to 1700s, this is now the responsibility of Liverpool City Council and is maintained by them. There is also a war memorial from 1920 honouring the dead of WWI with an additional dedication to the casualties of WWII. (no individual names are given)
This church was designed by John Hope and dates from 1794, it is a Georgian style church, but because of necessary repairs, a part of it was re-modelled in 1911 in Neo-Grec style by Charles Reilly, professer of Architecture at Liverpool University.
This church originally had a spire which became unsafe during the 1950's and it was removed.
Due to a fire in 1961 some of the church records were destroyed, the Records Office (William Brown Street Liverpool L3 8EW) hold all but the most recent ones.
Whilst every effort has been made to record exact details of record office and library holdings you are recommended to check with them before visiting to ensure that they do hold the records and years you wish to examine. Similarly check with transcript publishers to ensure they cover the records and years you require before making a purchase.
