Heritage Open Day: Come and visit St. Bartholomew's Church ( St. Bart's) we have links with Yates wine lodge, a Victorian stained glass maker, first chief of Police in Liverpool and with St. Pauls cathedral in London. Follow our history trail and uncover its history. St Bart's (grade II listed building) has a rich history which recently has been uncovered by a group of volunteers, the church was built in 1850 originally as a chapel of ease but as the surrounding area increased in population the church was extended. The development of the railway from Liverpool to Manchester was also influential in this growth as more people wanted to escape the poor housing and working conditions in Liverpool of the 1850's.
