More about this scene

The first church to stand on this site was also the focal point of the Viking settlement in the 10th century. The current building has a substantial element of Norman stonework dated c1150. St Bridget's is also the modern site for two war memorials; the first a simple cross in the churchyard, complemented by the second, a beautifully carved book in the nave of the church carrying the names of the fallen.

I used to live opposite you at No1 North Road. I am Mary Dodgson. I spent all the summers of the late forties leading the donkeys and ponies up and down the beach or with Rose Cummings and her son, Les Smith, who had the horse and trap and used to take parties to Hilbre and back. Les is still alive and lives in the same house as always, and I live just around the corner from him, not far from North Road. I agree it was a very happy place to grow up.
Hi, I'm am trying to trace Judith Jones or James, she married Samuel Reed then they moved to Heath Farm, Childerthornton. I believe she came from Storeton, but there is nothing registered on this site for Storeton, if anyone can help, I would love to hear from you
I was born in West Kirby and lived at 5 Dunraven Rd. I remember being a young choir boy at St Bridget's. My father, great grandmother, grand mother, Aunt and Uncle are all buried in St. Bridget's. Inside the Church is (was) a plaque on the wall dedicated to the soldiers from West Kirby that lost their lives in World War I. My grand father William J. Andrews is on that plaque.
