The shipowner James Harrison, who founded Harrison Line in 1853, was the benefactor of the new Gardens. On 17 May 1892 a Deed of Faculty was granted for the laying out of the graveyard as an ‘Ornamental Ground’ by forming walks and making beds of shrubs or plants surrounded with turf. The newly laid out garden was given into the care of the Corporation of Liverpool – subject to conditions to be approved by the council and that “the proposed alterations will be a public benefit and make the said churchyard more comely and decent”. It is today designated a Protected Green Space and is part of the Castle Street Conservation Area.(Submitted on October 17, 2026, by Ian Lefkowitz of New York, New York.)
