September 2006

This is sited (outside toxteth) on Lawrence Road between Salisbury Road (left) and Alderson Road (right).

The foundation stone was laid on November 22nd 1902 and the church opened for worship  the following year. Originally this was a United Methodist church but by the 1950s it was used by the Protestant Reformers' Church (Martyrs Memorial Church) - but always known locally simply as the 'Orange Lodge' who, as late as the late 1960s, would parade with band and drums in the surrounding streets on Sundays.

The building is not currently in use but retains much of its original stained glass and the red brick with pale sandstone sills and ornamentation is still an attractive feature.
