PPEAL FOR FUNDS TO COMPLETE ST.
MARY'S CHURCH, WAVERTREE.
`After long continued efforts had been made with a view to
providing an additional Church in Wavertree, and considerable
diffiaulties in the way of-such object had been overcome, the
first 06.4 of the above Church wan laid by the Rev. Augiuthis
Campball, Rector of Liverpool, and Vicar of Childwall, on
-londa:y. the 15th of April, 1850.
The pecuniary means, up to th et period procuredi.having
been found inadequate for the building of the whOle of the
church, it was suggested, and in consequence resolved, to
build 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, and accord-
ing to the plans=that is to say, the Chancel, North Aisle, and
the Tower and Spire.
The' Church, in its present state, was 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 wa discharged,
and the Consecration took place on the 7th day of May, 1855,
when the Rev. Samuel Fenton, M.A., was appointed Incum-
bent; and shortly afterwards a saparate district was assigned
to it by an order of her Majesty in Council.
So many years having elapsed without "arm further progress
in the design as originally contemplated, t'bere is a general
feeling that the church should no longerbe allowed to remain
in its unfinished condition, but that renewed efforts should be
made with a view to its conipletion, for effecting which the
sum of £2,330 will be required ; 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
afford accommodation for the rapidly increasing population of
the district, and add au ornament and an,attractivc object to
the surrounding neighbourhood.
-carrying into immediate effect the above
