PPEAL FOR FUNDS TO COMPLETE ST.
MARY'S CHURCH, WAVERTREE.
• A ter long continued efforts had been made with a view to
providing an additional Church in Wavertree, and considerable
difficulties in the way of such object had been overcome, the
first stone of the above'Church was laid by the Rev. Augustus
Campbell, ‘lector of Liverpool, and Vicar of Childwall, on
Monday, the 15th of April, 1850.
The pecuniary means, up to that period procured, having
been found ina.deqiiate for the building of the whole of the
church, it was suggested, and in consequence resolved, to
bnild so much of the sacred edifice as should be required for
immediate accommodation, namely the -Nave, South Aisle, and
Porch ; and"then, as funds could be obtained, to proceed with
the other portions as set forth in the specification, arid accord-
ing to the plans—that is to say, the Chancel,'North Aisle, and
the Tower and Spire.-
The Church, in its present state, wan the result of the fore-
going suggestion and determination, and, through the blessing
of God on the undertaking it was opened for Divine Service,
• under the licence of the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, on Sun-
day, the 29th of February, 1852.
At that time there was a heavy.debt on the Church, which
proved an obstacle to its being consecrated ; but by perse-
vering exertions, during three years, that debt was discharged,
and the Consecration took place on the 7th day of Mav, 1855,
when the-Rev. Samuel Fenton, M.A., was appointed Incum-
bent; and shortly afterwards a separate district was assigned
to it by an order of her Majesty in Council. -
So many years having elapsed without auy further progress
in the design as originally contemplated, there is a general
feeling that the church should no longer be allowed to remain
in its unfinished cbndition, bat that renewed efforts should be
made with a view to its completion, for effecting which the
sum of £2,350 will be requited; and it is to be hoped that there
will not be wanting persons willing to contribute means in
order to perfect a temple dedicated to Almighty God, and thus
on of
afford accommodation for the rapidly increasing populati
the district- and mid oruament and an attractive object to
the surrounding neighbourhood.
" For the purpose of 'carrying into immediate effect the above
Most desirable work, the following gentlemen have csusented
to act as a committee, with power to add to their number.
