History of Holy Trinity Church
This church is very old, with its first parts built way back in the 11th century (that's the 1000s!). Over many centuries, new sections were added, continuing until the 16th century.
Restoration and Expansion
In 1841, some important repair work was done to keep the church in good condition. Just two years later, in 1843, the village of Everton had grown. This meant the church needed to be made bigger to fit everyone. The church was extended towards the east, and a new room was added on the south side of the main church area.
By 1869, the church needed more big repairs and updates. During this time, some interesting stone carvings called gargoyles were removed from the building. Gargoyles are often shaped like strange creatures and help to drain water from the roof. Also, the floor inside the church was lowered during these renovations.
