Adjoining the Necropolis

Adjoining the Necropolis.

From Memorials of Liverpool....second edition, revised, with additions.

Adjoining the Necropolis, on the north side, there formerly existed a handsome mansion, with about an acre and a half of pleasure-ground. It was erected about the middle of the eighteenth century by a family named Bridge. It was afterwards occupied in succession by Richard and William Statham, who each filled the office of town-clerk. It was subsequently the residence for many years of the Rev. Jonathan Brooks, rector and archdeacon of Liverpool.

Should the above be of interest to you, you are advised to view the original article, as this is not necessarily an exact 'transcript'.
