Cadfael, it is with great sadness that I read of the plan to pull down St John,s Fairfield. It was the last church in Liverpool that I was a member of back in the middle 90s. I used to write and print the church mag in the last year of my membership.
At the time it did have a small membership but not smaller than my other church of Holy Trinity in Breck Road.
My theory is that once the stalwarts who had been going for donkeys years had passed away then the church left with the newer members don,t really have the bite of the older members to take up the sword for a good cause. It,s sad but a real factor in other regions of building and social upbringing that the modern world is now experiencing.
Good luck on your quest mate if I can dig out any information for you then I,ll send it on.
The church I remember has had one makeover before when the bulk of the church was pulled down and what now stands was all that was left.

To me it,s like a lone thread being pulled on a woollen jumper and leaving only the sleeve.
