THE CHURCH

St Paul's Church has stood proudly on Derby Lane since January 1916 and has served the people of Stoneycroft for many years. It was built by Douglas Horsfall and designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott whilst he was also working on Liverpool Cathedral and shares architectural similarities. It is the only other building in Liverpool that was designed by Scott and is the largest brick built church in Europe, and one of the biggest parish churches in the diocese. More information can be found on the church web site.

Geoffrey Williams the Organist and choirmaster at nearby St Anne's church has produced an excellent website concerning the history of St Paul's church. It is a fabulous read that will learn you all about the church from its origins right up to the present day.
