The Roman Catholic Church of St Swithin, Gilmoss in the County of -- Lancashire --

St Swithin’s Roman Catholic Church

	St Swithin’s Roman Catholic Church

St Swithin’s church, earlier known as the Gillmoss Chapel, was originally formed around 1757. The original chaplaincy was run by the Benedictine monks; this ended in 1768, when the first Earl of Sefton had a house built at the end of a Gillmoss Farm, converting some of the rooms into a Chapel.

A new church was built in 1824. This was superseded by the existing modern church, constructed in the 1950s to serve the new council-built housing estates to accommodate the migration of population from Central Liverpool.

The church is now closed and is being used as a business centre.
