Tour - Outside

St John's church building was built in 1881 and hasn't changed much on the outside, except the removal of an unsafe belltower. The porch, where the tour goes next, was added just after the war. It is seen here during the 2001 Summer Fayre. Click on any of the thumbnails on this page to see an enlarged version.

Floodlighting for the front (west end, see the picture to the right) of the church was added in time for the year 2000.

The borders in the garden in front of the church (see left) are maintained by our uniformed organisations. Click on one of the links below to see their certificates:
17 Southport Girl Guides and Brownies
15 Southport Brownies and 14 Southport Boys Brigade

At the same time as the west end was floodlit the bell that had been in storage since the old bell tower was removed was brought out and set in concrete in front of the stone commemorating the building of the church.

The Remembrance Garden, where we carry out interment of ashes, is on the north side of the church.
