| Comments | Sefton Church is dedicated to St Helen and has been a place of continuous Christian worship for 850 years. The church is Grade 1 listed and is reputed to have been founded in 1170 by the Molyneux family, the local landowners. There is no trace of the original church beyond a few carved fragments, the present building dates from the 16th century. The tower, steeple and part of the north aisle are remains from a 14th century reconstruction. There is a wealth of monuments inside the church ranging from 16th century brasses of the Molyneux family, and the Neo-classical memorial to William Blundell of 1807. |
