    If you are a Beatles fan this is a must visit place where the grave of Eleanor Rigby is located. Walk through the gate, turn left and in the first set of graves it’s the third row back. We found out after that thegrave of Father McKenzie is also there so have a look around for that. Directly across the road is the village hall where John and Paul first met. Walk through the gates to the back and there isa plaque on the wall there.

    Went inside the Church Hall and stood on the spot where Paul was introduced to John. The rest is history. Amazing place. Glad I visited.

    What an absolute hidden gem this place is, we went to see Eleanor Rigbey's grave and there was a really nice lady who just so happened to be in the church hall opposite who let us in to have a look at where Paul and John first met. It's worth a look even if the hall isn't open and should be on all Beatles tours (we did our own by driving around)

    Cemetery not well kept, but you can find the Eleanor Rigby tombstone here. Cool Beatles sightseeing opportunity.

    It was dusk so it was dark, which created a wonderful lugubrious environment. It was incredible to know John and Paul met there for the first time. A must for a Beatles fan!

    How lucky we all are that this historic spot is under the care of St. Peter's Church. The church administration has embraced the Beatles connection and preserved the sites for the fans beautifully, even though the Beatles don't have a strong connection to the church's core religious mission. The people from the church that I met when I visited were very kind and generous with their time - not remotely annoyed that I was there for non-religious reasons. Thanks so much!

    St Peter's Church well worth a visit. A beautiful structure in spellbinding surroundings and exceptionally well maintained. Forget about the Beatles connection and visit the place for it's true function

    It seems odd giving a rating to a church, but here goes. For any LFC fans out there, you might understand this...for anybody else, it may seem ridiculous. One of LFC's all-time great managers is buried here...Bob Paisley. We went to visit him to ask if he could work some of his magic on our form of late. Hopefully, it'll work, but there's no harm in trying #YNWA. It also happens to be a beautiful church in a great location.

    The home of father Mackenzie and Eleanor rugby. And where John Lennon was a choir boy and Mimis local church. So it must be great.

    Like all others… we came for the Beatles. Don’t skip Eleanor Rugby’s grave AND the legendary Bob Paisley in the back!

    We attended a lovely wedding, with Beatles fans wondering in and out of the church. The building is stunning and holds a lots of history.
