St. Oswald's church Old Swan was built in 1842.
Quote from a book on the Parish Church:
"St. Oswald's Church was built by the exertions and self sacrifice of the Very Rev John Cannon Maddocks. The Architect was Augustus Welby Puglin. The foundation stone was laid in 1839 and the church was opened on the 4th August 1842. Cannon Maddocks died on 4th March 1864.
The book I have also has an article on the "Strange secret of Old Swan", which was about the 3,561 corpses found next to the church when they were going to build the new school. This is mentioned on another thread in here I think.
I do have pics to upload but I think "Yo" just doesn't like me as it doesn't seem to want to let me....
