As the church history says, "He was at Liverpool for less than two years but is, without question, St Francis Xavier’s most famous priest."

    For whatever reason, he wasn't very happy in Liverpool.

    Yes so I gather, Philip. He is one of my favorite poets but I have to admit he didn't have good things to say about the city, though I can imagine that the poverty and misery of the city at that date might have got him down. You might be aware of the poem I wrote, that's here in the creative area,"Gerard Manley Hopkins at St. Katherine's Chapel, Lydiate". Hopkins did visit a house out at Lydiate and wrote there the poem, "Spring and Fall: To a Young Child", on September 7, 1880.

    It's daft, but of 90% of the pictures I've posted up, I've never actually been in to the church itself, just the tower!

    I'm sure my good lady will never allow me to marry her incase I disappear up the tower to ring for my own wedding

    Kind of hard NOT to take a pic of St Bride's when on the Tower. It looks so good.
    Here's a pic of Joyce, Sylvia and Rose who look after the place. Tom and Catherine Murphy live just around the corner from the church, btw

    Stretching the "Churches of Liverpool" thread a bit, but I love this pic and it's on the banks of the River Mersey. St Mary's, West Bank, Halton.

    Nice, Dave! Fine pic of the gold sailing ship on the spire of St. Nicholas's, so symbolic of Liverpool's maritime heritage. I also enjoyed the St. Francis Xavier pics and the other Our Lady and St. Nick's pics. Good work, as usual, Dave.
