St Hildeburgh's Parish Church is in Stanley Road, Hoylake, Wirral, Merseyside, England.
[4] With the growing popularity of sea bathing from the mid eighteenth century onwards, the existing small settlement of fishing families grew into the seaside resort of Hoylake.
This was largely due to the opening of the railway line in 1866 connecting Hoylake to Birkenhead and later Liverpool.
[7] The growing population of Hoylake meant that by the 1890s, Holy Trinity Church was too small to accommodate all the worshipers.
[8] St Hildeburgh's has services and worship in both modern and traditional styles, including Holy Communion in modern language, a monthly family praise service, choral evensong (using the traditional language of the Book of Common Prayer), Messy Church days (every couple of months), informal "Open Worship" (in the Church Centre, behind the main church), Healing Eucharists and services for those in care and residential homes.
These activities include a weekly community "drop in" on Tuesday mornings, a group for young people called "Voyagers", a weekly play and worship session on Wednesdays for pre-school age children and their parents/carers, a monthly luncheon club for senior citizens, and soup and sandwich lunches for care home residents, their families, carers and friends.
The timber reredos is richly carved, and includes a panel in tile and mosaic of the Good Shepherd.
[12] In the south wall of the chancel is a window of 2009 showing scenes of the Liverpool waterfront by David Hillhouse.
[13] A new second pipe organ was installed at St Hildeburgh's with the cost being raised by public subscription in the 1920s.
