Step inside the strongrooms of old Liverpool, where worship, charity, and civic life were recorded with painstaking care. A city speaks in its paperwork. Names, dates, objects, and lives. Henry Peet gathers a church inventory catalogue for St Peter's and St Nicholas', listing church plate and silver and other moveables as they stood in 1893, then reaches back to the parish register transcript of the earliest surviving entries, 1660-1672. The result is a primary source collection that lets you trace families, follow parish officers, and glimpse the material culture of faith: what was owned, what was gifted, what was repaired, and what was guarded. Alongside the 17th century registers, Peet provides an ancient library catalogue from St Peter's and carefully chosen vestry records extracts, illuminating decisions that shaped the Liverpool parish churches across generations. For Liverpool family history and local history researchers, it is a practical tool; for readers drawn to Anglican church history, it is a vivid reminder that institutions are built from ledgers, inventories, and small committee arguments. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. As one of the enduring British genealogy sources for the city, it belongs on the shelf of anyone who collects Liverpooliana, parish record scholarship, or the quiet, compelling evidence of everyday history. It rewards casual browsing too, with donations, losses, and the texture of parish life.
