WIRRAL’S ‘DOME OF HOME’ SECURES MATCH-FUNDING!


THE restoration of Ss Peter, Paul and St Philomena’s Church, New Brighton, has received a significant boost from Allchurches Trust. Architecturally ambitious and built in 1933, Ss Peter, Paul and St Philomena’s dominates Wirral’s skyline. It was nicknamed ‘The Dome of Home’ by merchant seamen returning to Liverpool during The Battle of the Atlantic in the Second World War. This restoration project initially began with National Lottery Heritage Funding in August 2018. A grant of £12,200 from Allchurches Trust to The Institute of Christ the King, who care for the church, means that over half of the match-funding support for 2020 work has now


been secured.


Great plans are taking shape to complete the restoration of the majestic dome, drum and main Sanctuary of this beautiful landmark church including activities for the whole community linked to Wirral’s Borough of Culture 2019. Since 2013, two-thirds of the roofs of this basilica-like building have been restored. However, concrete bursting from the Dome ring is putting previous investment at serious risk, and water ingress threatens the historic fabric. During the last project, a large lump of concrete fell onto a repaired chapel roof, confirming urgency. Fortunately, contractors were able to 'patch' repair onsite. This new project will cover the

‘Community Chat’ to collect personal heritage from the church which will be used to make a digital, searchable Photoalbum archive and Reflections/Memory book.


Sanctuary barrel roof with a membrane, repoint brickwork, restore steel windows and cast-iron rainwater goods treating the structural concrete problems, making the whole church safe and watertight.
