The Earl of Sefton (the Molineaux family) laid the foundation stone.There was a debate over the shape of the pillars by the parishes of Kirkby and Simonswood this was the result.
When the Earl built the church he stipulated that no buildings were to be built within 200 yards of it.The stone used was from the quarries in Kirkby hence Quarry Green
