The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Eccleston
This is the third Church to have been built here. It is said that High Lupus Grosvenor, 1st Duke of Westminster, approached one of the leading architects in the land, G. F. Bodley, and asked him to build a Cathedral at Eccleston. On being told that one already existed a few miles away at Chester, the Duke replied, then build me a small one’. http://ecclestonvillage.co.uk/3.html
