St Hilarys Church

About

St Hilary's is the old parish church of Wallasey. There are not many churches dedicated to this saint, and is especially unique because of its two towers.

There has been a church on this site for over a thousand years. Twice a fire has destroyed the buildings: the lone tower dates from a church built in around 1530 which caught fire in the 1850s. The tower was saved, and the new church, dated 1859, was built slightly away from the old tower. The old tower is in the churchyard and is Tudor dated 1530, at the top of which can be seen various gargoyles from outside. It also has battlements, buttresses and louvered belfry windows.
