Summary
| Description |
English: St Elphin's Parish Church A Church has stood on the site since about 650 AD. There was a Priest here at the time the Domesday Book. The spire of St Elphin's Parish Church dominates the Warrington skyline, built in the 1850's and 1860's and at a height of 281 feet, it is one of the tallest spires in England. Amongst parish churches it ranks third and if you include cathedrals, sixth place. Nothing survives above ground of the original building, nor of its successor, the first stone building. The church was shelled and badly damaged by the Parliamentary forces in the Civil War, the tower had to be rebuilt in 1696 and the nave was extensively restored by Rector Owen in 1770. The gates which can be seen in the photo were erected in 1791. |
