Yerrr it was great! Nice to see fellow wiki's too. Really enjoyed it apart from being ambushed at the start to watch the 'time capsule' video which was 30 minutes long and er, not my cup of tea. Me+ mate were crying laughing at one point!! Literally. The tower was great-wow the views! Although it was a bit claustrophobic and me mate whose a shortarse struggled with the steep last step haha and could hear d.d laughing behind her!! Hope you got some good pics gang! Nice to meet mrs t.c too. We ended up at the cider festival in the cheshire cheese for one- surprised to see no derek! Tc-saw that weird cheapo grave-strange!!
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!
Please do not adjust your mind, there is a slight problem with reality

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?

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
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 Web http://mysite.freeserve.com/st.hilarywallasey There may be a contact us page to enquire about the next one?

what did the vicar get up for? Another fella told us that he does the flag. One time it took him and another bloke 3 attempts coz it was so windy!! Er, no thanks
By the way these were taken from the tower attached to the church The old tower only had access to the room at the bottom of it disappointind would have liked to see the stairs behind the small locked door
