About this audio guide
This guide to St Peter's Church in Woolton, Liverpool, starts at one plain family headstone in the churchyard and the laundress whose name is carved on it. It follows her short life in the village, then crosses to a summer garden fete in nineteen fifty-seven and two teenagers who met in the church hall. Stand by the Rigby headstone while you listen.
