| notes:- |
The church was built 1851-53, designed by T D Barry, Liverpool. A north aisle was
added 1861; a south aisle in 1867; the chancel lengthened in 1875; a planned rebuilding
of 1912 was prevented by World War I and the subsequent rise in costs; there were
enlargements in 1932; more improvements were made in 1953. |
