St Peter’s Church<br />
<strong>The</strong> side of the stage in St Peter’s Church Hall might<br />
not look like much but it was here that the <strong>Beatles</strong><br />
really started. It was on 6th July 1957 that a young John<br />
Lennon, getting ready <strong>to</strong> play for the church dance with<br />
<strong>The</strong> Quarrymen, was introduced <strong>to</strong> Paul McCartney. Paul<br />
played his set of rock and roll classics and John was so<br />
impressed that he asked him <strong>to</strong> join the band. And so<br />
<strong>The</strong> Quarrymen became the <strong>Beatles</strong>.<br />
Take time <strong>to</strong> explore the church yard and you’ll find<br />
the graves<strong>to</strong>ne of Eleanor Rigby, famously featured in<br />
the 1966 hit. Search further and find the graves<strong>to</strong>ne<br />
of George Toogood Smith. Fans of the <strong>Beatles</strong> will<br />
probably know the name – he was John’s uncle, Aunt<br />
Mimi’s husband and the person who bought him his first<br />
musical instrument, a harmonica.<br />
