  • Reliques of the Anglo-Saxon Churches of St. Bridget and St. Hildeburga, West Kirby, Cheshire
    RELIQUES OF THE ANGLO-SAXON CHURCHES OF ST. BRIDGET AND ST. HILDEBURGA, WEST KIRKBY, CHESHIRE. By Henry Ecroyd Smith. (BEAD IST DEOBMBEB, 1870.) THE Parish of West Kirkby (now West Kirby), lying 18 miles N.W. of Chester city, is one of the most important in the hundred of Wirral, and occupies the whole of its north­ western angle. Dr. Ormerod describes its first quarter as comprising the townships of West Kirkby and Newton-cum- Larton, with that of Grange, Great Caldey or Caldey Grange ; second, the townships of Frankby and Greasby ; third, those of Great and Little Meols, with Hoose ; fourth, the township of Little Caldey.* Originally Kirklye, or, settlement at the Church, it became " West Kirkby," to distinguish it from "Kirkby-in-Walley," at the opposite corner of the peninsula of Wirral, now com­ monly known as Wallasey. Each of these extensive parishes possessed two Churches, those of Wallasey lying the one in Kirkby-in-Walley, the other on the Leasowes and near the sea, which ultimately destroyed it and engulphed the site together with that of its burial-ground. For further informa­ tion on this head, Bishop Gastrell's " Notitia," Dr. Ormerod's " History of the County,"\ and Lyson's " Cheshire,"% may be consulted. Gastrell's Notitia. The last now simply bears the name of Caldy. t II, 360. Heading of Moretou. { Page 807. 14 The Churches of West Kirkby were situate, the parish Church at the town proper, the other, a Chapel of Ease, upon Saint Hildeburgh's Eye, i.e., the island of St. Hildeburga, which had become insulated through the same potent influence which had wrecked the Chapel, as Bishop Gastrell calls it, upon the Leasowe shore.

T)OPULARLY, the lighthouse seems to be looked A upon as a modern invention, and if we con- sider it in its present form, completeness, and efficiency, we shall be justified in limiting its history to the last centuries but as soon as men to down two ; began go to the sea in ships, they must also have begun to ex- perience the need of beacons to guide them into secure channels, and warn them from hidden dangers, and the pressure of this need would be stronger in the night even than in the day. So soon as a want is man's invention hastens to it and strongly felt, supply ; we may be sure, therefore, that in the very earliest ages of civilization lights of some kind or other were introduced for the benefit of the mariner. It may very well be that these, at first, would be nothing more than fires kindled on wave-washed promontories, 10 LIGHTHOUSES OF ANTIQUITY.
