A vicar said he was "overwhelmed" by his community's reaction to his appeal to help renovate a historic church's kitchen.
St Oswald's Church in Bidston's kitchen area has been given a new lease of life after a "real community effort." Rev'd Joe Smith said he was overwhelmed by the response from the community after parts of the church fell into disrepair, including the church's kitchen - vital if the church is to host a warm bank.
The church has been serving the local community for centuries, with earliest record of a church in the village going as far back as the 1200s. Speaking to the ECHO Rev'd Joe said the renovations had "been a long time overdue."
