Walton Church, St. Mary The Virgin, Walton on the Hill

Walton Church, St. Mary The Virgin, Walton on the Hill St Mary's Church, the original mother church of Liverpool. This page is to keep people updated with what we're up to and to share some of our history.

St Mary's was originally the parish church of the Hundred of West Derby and of the area containing what was to become the city of Liverpool. A church on the site is mentioned in the Domesday Book; this was rebuilt in 1326. The nave was rebuilt in 1741, followed by the chancel in 1810. None of this has survived, the oldest part of the present church being the west tower, which was built in 1829–32

to a design by John Broadbent, a pupil of Thomas Rickman. The north side of the church was remodelled in 1840, and the chancel was rebuilt in 1843. In 1911 a south aisle, incorporating a chapel, an ambulatory, and a vestry were added by Nagington and Shennan. Most of the church, apart from the tower, was destroyed by incendiary bombs in the May Blitz of 1941. The body of the church was rebuilt between 1947 and 1953 by Quiggin and Gee, retaining the exterior as before, but creating a new interior. [1]
