St Peter's Church, Birkdale

St Peter's Church was designed by T. D. Barry and Sons, and was built in 1870–71. In 1886–87 a porch tower was added, and in 1907 the transepts were added and the chancel was rebuilt.

Inside the church the six-bay arcades are carried on piers of polished granite, and have capitals carved with foliage. The reredos and altar are dated 1908 and are decorated with painted angels on a gold ground and are in traceried frames. There are also paintings of angels on the east wall, and carved choir furnishings with an integral organ case. The stained glass includes a First World War memorial at the west end containing a depiction of Saint George. In the south aisle is a window from the late 19th century by Reuben Bennett.

St Peter's is an active Anglican church in the deanery of North Meols, the archdeaconry of Warrington, and the diocese of Liverpool. The church arranges services on Sundays and during the week, and hosts various group activities in the parish centre.
