Description

The mortuary house, built around 1870, is likely designed by the architect Bodley. It is constructed of stone and features a slate roof, along with two drip moulds and a parapet. The side returns have coped gables; the left side has a blocked window and a fluted gutter spout, similar to that found on the vestry of the Church of St John on West Derby Road. The right side displays a blank shield within a panel. The rear of the building has a blocked entrance, which was sealed in 1984. This structure is located in the north-west corner of the garden of the Vicarage for St. John's on West Derby Road.

Mortuary House sits in a wetter-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 1,050 mm of rain a year. This makes it wetter than 84% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is greater than that of 71% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 22 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 77% of listed buildings. Of these, 10 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.2°C per decade since 1991.
