  • 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.

Each approx. 3.8m wide comprising of a 2.3m WALLASEY 56 wide cycle lane separated from traffic by a 1.2m wide hatched mandatory road marking and wand/orca light segregation infrastructure. In terms of Key Workers, both Moreton and Bidston/Birkenhead have several care homes, doctors, health centres, chemists, sheltered accomodation, BIDSTON CYCLE LINK assisted living facilities, schools and a specialist college. With most "journeys" being short distance the proposal provides a viable alternative to those needing to get from A to B that either do not have access to car, are avoiding public transport as per government guidelines, or have always wanted to NCR walk/cycle this route but have never been able to do so. 56 In terms of local economy & employers, in the immediate vicinity of the link at the Moreton end is an ALDI supermarket, Tesco Express, and a hub of JCT 1 shops/supermarkets found at Moreton Cross.
