Today it is once again a hotel. Leasowe Castle Heritage Site 6 Leasowe Lighthouse: The oldest brick-built lighthouse in Britain, it was erected in 1763 by the Liverpool Docks Committee.

    6 Merseyside

    6 Merseyside 6.1 Administrative set-up Merseyside takes its name from the River Mersey and is a metropolitan county in North West England. Merseyside came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974, after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972, and the county consists of five metropolitan boroughs adjoining the Mersey Estuary, including the City of Liverpool. Merseyside encompasses about 645 km2 (249 sq miles) and has a population of around 1,350,100 (Office of National Statistics). Number of Males Females Total Area Merseyside people per (thousands) (thousands) (thousands) (hectares) hectare Knowsley 71.7 79.1 150.8 8629.3 17.48 Liverpool 212.7 222.8 435.5 11159.08 39.03 Sefton 131.3 144.9 276.2 15455.66 17.87 St Helens 86.5 91 177.5 13589.08 13.06 Wirral 147.7 162.4 310.1 15704.9 19.75 Total 649.9 700.2 1350.1 64538.02 107.19 Table 3 Demographics of Merseyside (sourced various from ONS www.statistics.gov.uk) Merseyside County Council was abolished in 1986, and so its districts (the metropolitan boroughs) are now essentially unitary authorities. However, the metropolitan county continues to exist in law and as a geographic frame of reference. Merseyside is divided into two parts by the Mersey Estuary: the Metropolitan Borough of Wirral is located to the west of the estuary on the Wirral Peninsula; the rest of the county is located on the eastern side of the estuary. The eastern boroughs of Merseyside border Lancashire to the north and Greater Manchester to the east, and both parts of Merseyside, west and east of the estuary, border Cheshire to the south.
  • A History of the Old Parish of Bidston, Cheshire

    A History of the Old Parish of Bidston, Cheshire

    CHI'KCH KlIiSTON A HISTORY OF THE OLD PARISH OF BIDSTON, CHESHIRE. By John Brownbill, M.A. (Continued) CHAPTER VI. THE CLERGY AND THE CHARITIES. A CHURCH was probably built at Bidston, when the land was granted to the first Hamon de Mascy, and it appears to have been, granted, with Backford church, to the priory of Birkenheacl at its foundation. It is a pecu­ liarity that there is no glebe in the township of Bidston belonging to it, 1 and the reason may be that in founding and endowing the priory the Mascys intended that the monks should have entire charge of it, so that there the glebe was merged in the monastic estate. No vicarage was ever created, and there seems to have been no house for a resident priest. The monks had the tithes, and in 1291 the value of the church of Bedeston was £5 6s. 8d. 2 The old building having entirely disappeared, we must be content with the statement that it contained frag­ ments of Early English style ; there should have been traces of an even earlier church. The mediaeval history is a blank ; there is mention of the marriage of William Pulle and Isabel Boteler at the " parish kirk of Bidstone " in 1436. 3 The Valor Eccle- siasticus of 1534 gives a profit of 6s. 8d. from the glebe ; tithes of corn £7, Easter roll 405., small tithes 235., lambs 1 There is $ ac. in Claughton. 2 Tax.
