The Archbishop of York visits the Diocese of Chester

The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell, made a missionary visit to the Chester diocese from 20-23 June to share in and encourage the mission of the church, to show the love of God and to make him known to the 1.5 million people of our diocese. 

Over the next few days, we'll be posting short videos of the places he visited and the people he spoke to.

Wirral Waters (21 June)

Archbishop Stephen meets with, Richard Mawdsley, Director of Development at Peel L and P, the development company behind ‘Wirral Waters’, a huge housing development project on the Birkenhead side of the River Mersey. It’s the largest regeneration project in the UK outside London.
A new church community has been planted in the middle of the development, in a building loaned to them by the developers.
Wirral churches, with others in the faith sector are active and valued partners in the development of Wirral Waters.
