Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Parish Chvrches of Wirral Then fell the fierce storms of the sixteenth century, when practically all building ceased, and the only trace of it is to be found in such re airs as were necessary to keep the churches sound). The seventeenth century came and went, leaving but few structures to mark its degraded style, and ushered in the eighteenth, which has left, alas, too many. And how shall I speak of this century? The century of restorations we might call it, but of that we shall speak later. And thus we have today not the creation of a single mind and the effort of a year, but the accretion of a millennium and the countless efforts of thirty generations; so that one feels there is truth in saying, That church was not built.
