St John the Evangelist Church, Thomas Lane, Knotty Ash, Liverpool 14.

"1834-36.

The chancel and a south chapel were added in 1890 by Aldridge and Deacon. The church is built in stone with a slate roof. It consists of a nave with aisles, a chancel and south chapel, and a west tower. The tower has octagonal turrets and pinnacles, clock faces on three sides, an embattled parapet, and a thin spire. The windows have Perpendicular tracery. Inside the church the arcades are carried on slender columns, and have four-centred arches.[7][8]"

 

This was Sir Ken Dodd's Church - Lady Dodd sometimes plays the organ.

It's said that Sir Ken is buried in the family grave in Allerton Cemetery (with his parents)
