A 'PEAL FOR FUNDS -TO COMPLETE ST.
MARY'S CHURCH, •WAITERTREE.
`-A ter long continued efforts had been made with a view.to
providingan additional Church= 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. Angustus
Campbell; Rector of Liverpool, and. Nicer Of Phildwall, on
Monday, the 15th of April, 1850.
The pecuniary means, up to that period procured, having
been found inadequate for the building of the whole of the
church, it was suggested, and in consequence resolved, to
build so mach of the sacred edifice as should be required for
immediate accommodation,- namely the Nave, South Aisle, and
Porch ;:and then, as funds could . be libtained; to proceedwith
the other portions as set forth in the specification, and accord-
ing to the plans—that is to say, tie Chancel, North Aisle, and
the Tower and Spire.. - - • " ' ..: '
The Church, in its present state, was the resnit of tne fore-
going suggestion and determination, and through tire blessing
of faod on the undertaking.it was opened for .Divine er-.,tiee,
under the licence of the Lord Bishop of the Diotese, on .Sun-
day, the 2tith pf 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 May, 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 baring elapsed without any further progress
in the design as originally contempla.ted, there is a general
feeling thatthe church should no longer be allowed,to remain
in its unfinished condition, but that renewed efforts should be
made with a vi* to its •completion, •for effecting which the
sum of 42,350 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 an ornament and an attractive object to
the surroundingneighhourhood, .. • ' -
For.the purpose of carrying* into immediate e
haveffect the above
most desirable work,, the following gentlemen csnsented
to aet as a committee, with power to add to their number.
