Liverpool Cathedral, Anglican cathedral in Liverpool, England
Liverpool Cathedral is an Anglican cathedral in Liverpool and stands as the largest church of its denomination in the country. The central tower rises above the city, while inside visitors find high vaults, dark wood, and long side aisles carved from red sandstone.
Construction started in the early 20th century following a competition won by a young architect named Giles Gilbert Scott. Work stretched across seven decades and was only completed in the late 1970s.
The cathedral's name honors Liverpool's Anglican community, which commissioned it to create a grand place of worship for the growing city. Worshippers and visitors still gather here for services, concerts, and quiet moments under its soaring vaults.
Entry is usually free, though donations are welcome to help maintain the building. Those planning to climb the tower should expect many steps and wear comfortable shoes.
Among the bells in the tower hangs Great George, one of the heaviest bells ever cast and still rung today. Its deep tone echoes far across the city and is struck on special occasions.
