St Michael's Church, Huyton

The present St Michael's church dates from 1663 but a church has stood on this site for many centuries before. Churches like this built on rocky outcrops frequently occupy ancient religious sites predating Christianity. Huyton, like its neighbour Roby, were mentioned in the Domesday book and a Saxon stone column capital was found by the church in 1873 also a 8/9th C sandstone font.
