Can you guess the location of this month’s postcard poser?

For those who are new to this feature on our blog, every month we share a postcard-style photo taken somewhere in the UK. It could be a particular property, a famous landmark, or just a view of the town centre. All you have to do is tell us where the photo was taken in the comments section below.

It’s St Hilary Parish Church in Wallasey Merseyside formerly Cheshire. Rebuilt bat 1856 when the old church burnt down after the churchwarden stoked up the boilers to warm the church. A smell of cooked bacon could be smelt all over the village as slaughtered pigs were hung in the old tower which is all that is left now of the old church.

Wendy Bennett is correct. St. Hilary’s Church also has a peel of six bells.
