An Online Archive for the Church of St. Mary's & the Priory, Birkenhead Cheshire, including a listing of the monumental inscriptions from the old graveyard & Priory.
I remember a Chester Diocesan Youth Pilgrimage in the 1960's to St Mary's when it was absolutely was packed with young people plus a couple of Bishop's .. the paint was peeling off the ceiling, the church was soon to be closed, and the contrast between the faded interior and the enthusiasm and fresh faith of us ( then ) youngsters was so moving and inspiring.Does anyone else remember it ?

This is a fabulous picture of the church's interior, something I haven't seen before. Thanks for posting this.
