    Very nice, Lindy.
    It opened in 1865.
    The architect was Sir James Picton, who was the most famous Liverpool local historian of his time.
    Various things in Liverpool were named after him.

    It's a huge church. Pity it's looking a bit run down, it's been in a state of neglect for many years now. No one seems to be maintaining the building. The areas at the sides of the church are full of weeds and litter and the whole place needs a makeover.
    The church has always been popular, it used to have a youth club and coffee mornings etc, - it's still in use but looking a bid neglected now.

    The maintenance of the building will of course be the responsibility of the congregation and ultimately of the whole community it serves. If the community feels the building is being neglected, then they should join the church and provide funds for its repair and maintenance.
