Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Birkenhead
Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception, Birkenhead, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Birkenhead, England.
The stone church features a prominent west end with paired entrances, narrow lancet windows, and a large rose window above the entrance portal.
Construction started in 1860 under architect E.W. Pugin, with the chancel added between 1876 and 1877 by the architectural firm Pugin and Pugin.
The reredos from 1895 displays carved stone and marble niches containing statues of saints, while the granite columns support tall pointed arches.
The church holds regular Mass services on Sundays at 11 AM and weekdays on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at 9 AM.
The building served as the pro-Cathedral of the Diocese of Shrewsbury until the completion of the current cathedral in a different location.
