Title: Liverpool Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne
Post by: Fidgit on Monday 25 February 08 15:39 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know quite which Church Our Lady & St Nicholas & St Anne is?

I have it listed on a marraige certificate but am unsure as rto where it was/if it was one Church or a group of 3?

Any ideas

Thanks

Our lovely Sailors Church !!  :D

The ancient parish church of Liverpool was St Mary’s Walton on the Hill, 3 miles (5 Km) from the present location. In 1699 Liverpool, with a population of about 5000, was created an independent parish with two churches: Our Lady and St Nicholas (often called the ‘Old Church’ or simply St Nicholas) and a new parish church of St Peter. In 1734 the first of many daughter churches was built; by 1865 there were 27 in the parish, which by then housed about 275,000 people. Since 1916 Our Lady and St Nicholas has been the Parish Church of Liverpool. St Peter’s, which stood in Church Street, was demolished in 1922

Just a bit of padding !!  :)

Hi,

Here's a link to a great website featuring excellent photos of many of Liverpools sights etc. The link takes you to the St. Nicholas' Church section!
