Holy Cross Church and Cross, Woodchurch
An ancient church, the nave originates from the 12th century but the circular style graveyard suggests a pre-Norman date. This early date is supported by the discovery of a portion of an Anglo-Saxon wheel cross at the grounds of the church in the late 19th or early 20th century and placed within the wall of the chancel within the church. The cross probably stood intact in the graveyard until the 17th century when many such crosses were destroyed by Puritans.

Old Schoolhouse, Woodchurch
Woodchurch Primary School dates back to 1665, making it one of the
oldest schools in Wirral. This schoolhouse was built in 1873 and the present adjacent school in 1954.
According to the school website:-
"William Gleave, of the city of London, died in the year 1665 and left to the Parish of Woodchurch £500 to erect a Free School. £400 was to be spent on the land, £100 for the building of a School House and £20 per annum for the maintenance of a Schoolmaster for ever! Attendance in 1873 is recorded as being poor due to “so many children being required by their parents to gather blackberries and mushrooms which the parents take to market”."

Scout World Jamboree Monument, Arrow Park
In 1929 the 3rd World Scout Jamboree was held at Arrowe Park, some 21 years after the publication of 'Scouting for Boys' by Baden-Powell. It was attended by 30,000 scouts and there were 300,000 visitors. It was at this event that the 'Golden Arrow' was adopted as the symbol of peace and goodwill by the scouting movement.
In 1931 the sculptor, Edward Carter Preston, was asked by the Boy Scout Movement to erect a sculpture to commemorate the event. The sculpture was restored in the 1980's.
Located at what is now the entrance to Arrowe Park Hospital, passed by millions yet few will know what it is there for.
