A centuries old chapel described as an "oasis of calm" has a surprising link to one of the most notorious witch trials in history.
The Ancient Chapel of Toxteth is the final resting place of some of Liverpool's most revered families. The chapel has stood on the corner of what is now Park Road and Dingle Lane for over 400-years.
The Grade I listed building was built by a small, Puritan community in what was at the time the lush open countryside of the former royal deer park of Toxteth. Towards the end of the 16th century, Puritan farmers settled in the area, setting up 25 farms on land outside of Church of England control which became Toxteth Village.
