Dist:0.4km<br/>St Hilary's is the church on the sandstone outcrop high above Wallasey Village. It is thought to have been the site of a church since the 6th century and has been rebuilt many times, the present building dates from 1858-9, the previous church having burnt down in 1857. The stone was donated from Rake Lane quarry.

Dist:0.4km<br/>The tower bears the date 1530, the rest of the church having been rebuilt in 1760 using stone from the previous building. In 1857 the church was destroyed by fire shortly after extensive restoration. The blaze was caused by a fire lit to warm the congregation on a particularly cold winter's evening being enthusiastically stoked, causing the fat on the bacon sides hanging in the church tower to melt which then ignited the wooden floorboards, adding to the conflagration. It is told that the town of Wallasey smelt of bacon for days afterwards!
