| The crossBeaTs began in the early
1960s at St Leonard's Church Bootle, under the ministry of John Mockford. There
were many early influences on the group, but none more than the ministry team
of John Mockford, Colin Bazley, Ian Bunting and
Keith Anderson. Other key lay people at that time
were Tom Cooper, Jim Frostick, Jim Webster, Ernest Hopkins, Bob Lyndsey and
(big) Eric Knowles. Some of these people can be seen in the pictures below.
I have also added a few other photographs of the era which folk have sent me. If you can add information, or want to comment, please e-mail. |
