The death of St John’s Church at Liverpool
The area of St John’s Garden in Liverpool was once a burial ground. In 1767 the area contained a small mortuary chapel and general burial site. The construction of St John’s Church began in 1775 and was started by Thomas Litoller. Litoller would use a gothic design that would later influence buildings like St George’s Hall.
The construction of St George’s Hall started in 1854 and when it finished St John’s Church was hard against the west elevation.
The name St John’s Garden comes from St John’s Church as the Church once stood within the grounds of the garden.
The graveyard and cemetery contained about 27,000 bodies before it was closed in 1854. The closure was due to the extension of St George’s Hall and surrounding buildings. Parts of these buildings still remain on the old burial ground.
