Hahahaha. Nice one!

Thought you would like that!

great pictures you took t.c i think the vicar on roof must of been going to jump off when he seen rudebox and crew walking up path

Wouldnt surprise me! We were REALLY really having to try hard to hold together during THAT video. Some fella kept coming in and snarling at us...
The vid was snippets of church life-rainbows, the mothers union, youth club etc and also the preparations for sunday service etc. About ten minutes of a little old dear lighting candles and arranging flowers.
Its noted that other wikis got away with it, i think. Derek stuck his head in and done one quick. Lol

this grave stone is a woman who lived in the oldest house in wallasy folk law says this was the site of the old cross before the church was built the old cross dissapeared and left a hole in the slab witch is hollow was later covered with a placque!

you poor girl i feel for ya!

Exellent, the oldest house in Wallasey is featured in our History section
Think it`s in Limekiln lane

thats the one mate thankyou dude!

almost the last fom me! tunnels under the tower?
there are tunnels under the tower that go to the vicarage and the old school and the cheese! one of the tour guides told me about a tunnel under the vicarage very small archways leads about 5 feet to a blocked wall! the vicar denied all knowledge

That must be true TC as i`ve heard that before about tunnels leading from the cheese to the church!

great pics tc wish id known about it earlier the views are amazing

thanks queen!

excellent work, tc!! Well done!

Ghosties??

Absolutely great post, and top notch pictures. Wish I could have made it. How often is this open to the public ? Was it a one off ?

Next best thing to being there, cheers

right the ghost story!
butchers use to store meat in the tower one night a young butcher was working the night the tower was set alight and the smell of bacon linged over the town for weeks! every now and again the smell of bacan can be smelt in the tower and a ghostly scream can be heard?

open again sep will find a date mate!

i might be wrong but i thought it was open to commonerate 125 years. If you want to see the infamous video you will have to stick around because it was going in the safe for the next 125 years
