The original chapel of St Mary Del Quay, (believed to be situated near to the present day Maritime Chapel) is first mentioned in records in the mid-thirteenth century. There is no certainty about when it was built or who built it, but we know it was used a chapel of ease for the main Parish Church which is situated about four miles away in Walton in north Liverpool.
