Visit to Liverpool Parish Church

Liverpool Parish Church has been a place of worship on the site for over 750 years. The Revd Canon Dr Crispin Pailing, gave us a guided tour of the church and talked to us about the art in the Church and the Church’s history showing us archive documents including a representation to Parliament before the Great Reform Act of 1832. 

We visited the gardens, under which many gravestones still lie.  There are a number of maritime memorials as well as a Victoria Cross walkway and the Liverpool Blitz memorial by Tom Murphy, which was unveiled by the Duke of Edinburgh in 2000.

The newly unveiled Horse Sculpture on the plinth in Chapel Street, which has a coat made up of recycled plastic milk bottles, and celebrates the horsepower behind Liverpool’s historic waterways, was also on show. 

At 12.15 there was a short “said” Eucharist.
