St Michael's Church, Shotwick, Medieval church in Shotwick, England
The stone church features a Gothic tower from 1500, a Norman doorway, and a nave extending through four bays with a three-bay chancel.
The church originated in 1050 near a ford across the River Dee, marking a natural border between England and Wales for local communities.
The interior holds historic furnishings, including the oldest box pews in Wirral and a three-deck pulpit with an ornate canopied churchwardens section from 1709.
Services occur each Sunday at 11:30 AM, and the building remains open daily from 9 AM to 5 PM for visitors to explore the architecture.
The churchyard contains nine Royal Air Force officers' graves from World War I and numerous Grade II listed structures, including an 18th-century sundial.
