About this audio guide
This guide to Liverpool Parish Church, Our Lady and Saint Nicholas, treats the building as an object with scars: a riverside church whose stones are far younger than its story. It begins with a spire added in seventeen forty-six and a congregation gathering one Sunday morning in February eighteen ten. Along the way you meet Thomas Harrison of Chester, a German air raid in nineteen forty, and the salvaged timber and oak still working inside. Best heard in the old churchyard, looking up at the tower.
