Does anybody know if there was an earlier church on the site of what is now all saints church speke. There is mention of a church in the middle of the ancient village of speke but is this the same site. Also was it there in the reformationperiod

I think All Saint's was the first church in Speke.

All Saint's Church, Hale Road/Speke Church Road, Speke. Consecrated 21 June 1876.
Architect: John Loughborough Pearson (1817-1897).

St Michael's Church, Garston was the parish church for Speke until All Saints , Speke was built. There are several memorials to the Norris and Watt families of Speke Hall at St Michael's Church.
