APPEAL FOR FUNDS TO COMPLETE ST.
MARY'S CHIJRCII,_.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, Rector of Liverpool, .and Vicar of Childwall, on
Monday, the 15th of April, 1850. ~
The- pecuniary means, up to that period procured, having
been found inadequate for the building of the wkole 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. he 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 Chnreh, 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 20th 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 9th 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 having elapsed without any 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 condition, but that renewed efforts should be
made with a view to its completion, for effecting which the
sum of £2,350 will berequired; 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 surrounding neighbourhood.
For the purpose of carrying into Immediate effect the above
most desirable work, the following gentlemen have consented
to act as a committee, with power to add to their number.
