More about this scene
Although a church dedicated to St Elphin is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, there had probably been a place of worship here from the 7th century. The site of the Parish Church was a natural centre for a settlement, on raised ground overlooking the ancient ford over the Mersey. By the early 13th century it stood at the heart of the medieval village of Warrington, and adjoining the lord of the manor's castle. Much of the present building dates from Victorian reconstruction work commissioned by Rector William Quekett between 1858-62.
