More about this scene
But for its battlements, the tower would hardly clear the roof of St Wilfrid's Church. One of the county's earliest churches, it was founded in the 7th century and has several Saxon crosses, one carved with both pagan and Christian symbols. It seems the building occupied an even older sacred site, for a Roman altar was unearthed there in 1794.

Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
My dad's family lived in Halton for many years. My aunties and uncles went to the old school on the hill. I moved to Halton in 1963 with my dad, mam and sisters. I also went to the same school, I was 4 years of age, Mrs Tompson and Mrs Prill were teachers, I had very happy times there. I still call at Halton as my mum and dad are in the new graveyard. I still go to the new school on Pennystone Road to pick my grandaughter up...it brings all my happy times back.
