More about this scene

St Joseph's Church has served the Catholic community in Blundellsands since the building was consecrated in 1874. In this very settled community, very little has happened during the past forty years to change the appearance of either the building or its surroundings. In common with many other villages in the area, the incorporation of the word 'Blundell' into the place name is a reminder of the extent of the Blundell family's influence during the 18th and 19th centuries.
