Great photos and info Ged. Thanks.
St Judes was designed by Thomas Rickman, who had, in partnership with John Cragg, also designed the Liverpool cast-iron churches of: St George's, Everton; St Michael-in-the-Hamlet, Aigburth and St Philip's (now demolished) in Hardman Street. St Judes was consecrated on 20 Oct, 1831. John Cragg, reportedly, only built three cast-iron churches in Liverpool, so we must assume that St Judes must have been a masonry structure, unless we can prove otherwise? It did however follow the Gothic revival style which Thomas Rickman was a well known exponent of.

Here's the 1848 OS map [courtesy of the LRO/pgm] showing St Judes on the middle/ right of the map. Ged, is that St Judes school also shown on the map? You may need to scroll right, using the blue bar below?
