About Liverpool Cathedral
Liverpool Cathedral, whose formal name is Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool, serves the Church of England in Liverpool, England. The Anglican Bishop of Liverpool has his seat there, and it is the diocese's mother church. No other cathedral or religious building in Britain is larger. No cathedral in the world is longer: the total external length, with the Lady Chapel, is 189 m (621 ft), and the internal length is 150 m (480 ft).
The cathedral was built between 1904 and 1978 from a design by Giles Gilbert Scott. An open competition drew 103 entries, and in 1903 the assessors recommended the proposal of Scott, who was 22 and an articled pupil, with no existing buildings to his credit. The competition first stipulated Gothic designs, but the assessors later agreed to consider Renaissance or Classical ones too. King Edward VII laid the foundation stone in 1904.
By overall volume it is fifth among the world's cathedrals. At 101 m (331 ft), it is also among the world's tallest church buildings that have no spire. The National Heritage List for England designates it a Grade I listed building. A second cathedral in the city, Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King, belongs to the Roman Catholic Church and sits about 0.8 km (0.5 miles) to the north, linked to this one by Hope Street.
