St Peter's Church


Eleanor Rigby's grave
Church Road
Woolton
Liverpool, Merseyside L25 6DA
United Kingdom
+44 151 233 3000
St Peter's sits at the top of Woolton Hill and the square tower is clearly visible on the approach to Liverpool via the M62 motorway. The church boasts an attractive lych gate, but its main claim to fame is more secular as it has connections with pop music. In the churchyard lies the grave of a lady named Eleanor Rigby, who perhaps inspired a song of the same name. It was at St Peter's Church Fete in June 1957 that the nucleus of a group that came to be known as the Beatles played together in public for the very first time.
