St Hilary's Church, Wallasey

St Hilary's Church sits on Claremont Road with a stone structure featuring a crossing tower with transepts and slate roof characteristic of Gothic Revival design. The layout includes north and south aisles that extend the interior space for worship.

The building's foundations reach back to Saxon times, with Norman stonework discovered from the period 1162 to 1182 under William de Waley's construction. These earlier layers reveal the site's long history as a place of worship.

The church functions as a spiritual and social hub where parishioners gather for traditional Anglican worship and local community occasions. Its role in the village has remained central to the religious life of the area for centuries.

The church is accessed from Claremont Road and maintains regular opening times for visitors to view the interior and architecture. It is best to check ahead for current visiting conditions and any access requirements.

A separate Tudor-style tower incorporates 13th-century stone elements with blocked arches and bell openings, crowned by gargoyles on its embattled parapet. This tower reveals how different periods of construction were integrated into a single structure.
