Parish History[edit | edit source]

Birkenhead, All Saints, Shrewsbury Road. Built originally in 1879 as a chapelry, became a separate parish from 1911 serving parts of Birkenhead, Bidston and Oxton; closed in 1971.

BIRKENHEAD is a seaport town, a market town, and a township, and a parochial chapel over seven separate chapelries, created originally from the ancient parish of Bidston (which also see), in the district of Wirral, Cheshire. The town stands on the Mersey, opposite Liverpool, about a mile by water west of Liverpool, and 14 3/4 miles by railway north by northwest of Chester. It comprises the ancient extra parochial district or chapelry of Birkenhead and the following chapelries attached to it:

Part of the parochial boundary of Birkenhead Chapelry includes the former township of Claughton, in Bidston ancient parish, and part of Oxton Township, in Woodchurch ancient parish (which also see). These two townships have been incorporated into the township and chapelry of Birkenhead.

There are upwards of thirty non-established places of worship (including Claughton and Oxton). There are two Roman Catholic churches. Birkenhead All Saints was built in 1879 as a chapel to Oxton (St Saviour).[1] [2]
