The tower of Christ Church is a prominent local landmark, but the church is now disused, and has been threatened with demolition, despite being a Grade II* listed building. It was designed by the renowned Victorian church architects, Austin and Paley of Lancaster, and built between 1891 and 1894 of the local red sandstone. However it was declared redundant by the Church Commissioners in 1982. The fundamental dilemma with all buildings like this is that it needs maintenance, but who pays for it, the Church Commissioners as owners, or the various bodies who say that it cannot be demolished because of its architectural importance?

Old Christ Church, now disused and subject to vandalism, was built between 1891 and 1899 in perpendicular style using red sandstone, replacing a much humbler building and to keep up with the increasing prosperity of this rapidly growing suburb of Liverpool.

It was declared redundant in 1982, and its functions have been replaced by a new Christ Church at the junction of Crosby Road South and Alexandra Road, Waterloo. The church building is now under the care of The Churches Conservation Trust (See more at: http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/Ourchurches/Completelistofchurches/Christ-Church-Waterloo-Merseyside/#sthash.hHpq39hS.dpuf) .
