A KNOWSLEY LANDMARK
A Victorian Church at the Heart of Knowsley Village
St Mary’s Church sits on Knowsley Lane in Knowsley Village, built between 1841 and 1844 for the 13th Earl of Derby to a design by architect Edmund Sharpe, and consecrated in 1844 by the Bishop of Chester. It’s an active Anglican parish church, and one of the prettiest village-church settings in Merseyside for a wedding.
Marriage registers here go back to 1844, and the church continues to host weddings for couples from Knowsley and further afield today.
