The tower of St Mary's, the first parish church of Birkenhead shares its site with the Benedictine monastery, Birkenhead Priory. The 101 steps of the tower serve as a memorial to those lost in the 1939 disaster aboard the Laird's built submarine Thetis. The church was designed by Thomas Rickman in 1821 but only the Tower escaped demolition in the 1970's.
