A thousand years of stories, kept in West Kirby
Our new website
is taking shape.
We’re carefully rebuilding our online home—a new place to explore the collection, uncover local stories and find everything you need to plan a visit.
At St Bridget’s Centre
West Kirby
A small museum with a long view
From the prehistoric
to the present day.
West Kirby Museum brings together the stones, objects and memories that tell the story of St Bridget’s Church and the local village across more than 1,000 years.
Housed within St Bridget’s Centre, the museum connects everyday lives with the wider sweep of history—from Viking sculpture and medieval West Kirby to Victorian growth and the community we know today.
The new website will make more of this collection available to everyone, with stories, highlights, research and news from the museum.
WKM / COLLECTION
A remarkable survival
The West Kirby
hogback stone
Among the area’s most compelling links to the Viking age is a carved hogback stone, discovered at St Bridget’s Church. Its interlaced decoration offers a tangible connection to the people who lived here centuries ago.
