St Peter’s Church collection box

The collection box at the church where Sir Paul McCartney and John Lennon played together for the first time is to be auctioned off.

McCartney joined Lennon’s first band The Quarrymen in a session at the hall in St Peter’s Church in Woolton, Liverpool, on July 6 1957. Hours earlier he watched them perform at a village fete in the church field.
