We visited the cemetery (my first visit) to do some research into my good lady's ancestors and I was very surprised at the size of the place. It's really peaceful in there with some historical buildings too, including Windleshaw Chantry. There are some local celebrity graves to spot too, including important members of the Pilkington and Beecham family...plus hundreds of war graves, including three soldiers awarded the Victoria Cross. Despite it lying next to one of the busiest roads in the UK, it has a sereneness about it and is nice to wander and ponder life, whilst amongst the dead.

We are a lovely Anglican Church located in Woolton village, South Liverpool. The cornerstone for the current Church was laid in 1886, and it was built from local sandstone. The 90-ft high bell tower contains 8 bells and is the highest point in Liverpool with fabulous views of Merseyside, Lancashire, Cheshire and the Welsh hills. Inside are many fine features, including a wonderful Church organ and a beautiful set of stained glass windows, designed by the famous artist Charles Kempe. The two smaller windows were removed from the original church and were designed by William Morris. St Peter's Church is most famous for being the location where John Lennon met Paul McCartney on July 6, 1957, and the Lennon-McCartney partnership was born. The Church graveyard provides the final resting place for 'our' Eleanor Rigby, as well as John Lennon's uncle, George Toogood Smith, and Bob Paisley, the most successful manager in the history of Liverpool Football Club.
We stopped by St Peter's to see Eleanor Rigbys headstone. Made famous by Lennon and McCartney. We then walked around the church yard to see all the lonely people. A very nice church and yard.

The Cathedral was only completed in 1978. It was designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott when he was only 22 years old. It is a great space, without pillars or pews, the space is able to host huge concerts, exhibitions and fine dining on the main floor. The tower is 110m high and is the best view in the city.
