Liverpool (Anglican) Cathedral
Description
A truly impressive space, and from the same man who brought you the humble phone box - Giles Gilbert Scott. Work started in 1904 and in true cathedral style continued slowly until it's final completion in 1978. In contrast the Catholic Cathedral just down the road was wacked up in five years in the 1960's!. Just to complicate matters even further Gilbert Scott, who died before the Cathedral was completed, couldn't be buried in it because he was a Catholic. The architect of the Catholic Cathedral was an Anglican... Today the Cathedral is the largest Anglican Cathedral in the world and one of the largest cathedrals in Europe. Inside its stunning space is lit by massive stained-glass windows giving it a much lighter interior than it's austere exterior might suggest.
