One of Merseyside's oldest churches that you have never heard of

One of Merseyside’s oldest churches has a long and fascinating history.

Nestled on a quiet country lane in the village of Sefton the St Helen Church strikes an imposing figure on the natural landscape. From the outside, the church is dominated by large windows and a tall spire that can be seen from miles across the lush green fields of Sefton.

The borough's oldest church has been a continuous place of Worship for more than 850 years. Consecrated in 1170, soon after a private chapel was built for the powerful Molyneux family.
