Liverpool Cathedral

Liverpool Cathedral is only 100 years old but its life has seen many changes.

The Cathedral Church of Christ, Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s masterpiece, is built on St. James’ Mount and is visible from miles around: “a visible witness for God in the midst of the great city”.

Visit this cathedral and immerse yourself in 100 years of history.

	Cathedrals: Anglican Cathedral

March 2003. Please ask
before using.

Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral is a world record breaker. It holds the titles for the largest cathedral in the United Kingdom (2nd largest Anglican in the World) as well as having the highest gothic arches ever built and the largest church organ and heaviest ringing bells! So you can imagine this is a sight not to be missed.

You can see the huge scale of the Cathedral in my photograph on the left, if you compare it's height with the people standing just in front.

Designed by Giles Gilbert Scott (also the designer of the traditional British red telephone box), it's foundation stones were layed in 1904 by King George VII and wasn't to be completed until 1978.

Giles Gilbert Scott died before the cathedral was consecrated but as tribute to his input, he is depicted wearing a blue coat in the 'Layman's Window'.

Tours take place regularly, I'd recommend checking the Cathedral's websites for the very latest times.

The interior

Much less striking than the modern RC cathedral the Anglican one is fascinating in its own right. The interior has a bridge that crosses it.

The Catholics built in Liverpool not in an old style.

The Metropholitan Cathedral was built in the 1960s with a lot of modern materials. Not all of them was tested enough. So the Cathedral had to been renovated in the last years for 8 Mio. GBP. This was a good investment!

The Liverpool Cathedral (Anglican) was build in the style of Neo-Gothic.

It looks much older than the Metropolitan Cathedral. But it was finished later (in the 1978; begin was 1904).

Anglican Cathedral

The biggest church of its kind in the United Kingdom. This church dominates the Liverpool skyline, as seen from the River front. Take a tour weekdays and go up the tower for fantastic views of Liverpool.

The Anglican Cathedral

Two wonderful pieces of church architecture, linked by a street called Hope, and a good example of ecumenicalism.

They really are 'Must see'. The Anglican Cathedral, (designed by a RC) is more traditional, but nonetheless awsome. Good gift shop and cafe too!

The RC one (the Metropolican Cathedral of Christ the King, known locally as 'Paddy's Wigwam') was designed in the main by an anglican! Shop and cafe not as good!

The Cathedral is one of the most impressive buildings I visited in England. It is the largest Anglican Cathedral and inside it's quite stunning, you will realized that the arch are big enough, and for instance you may think that there is a big empty inside for the big proportions it has.

I strongly recomend you visit the tower, it will give you a stunning view of the city at the top of this amazing buidling, prices are around 2.5 pounds.
