Elisha Lindsay Halsey of Charleston South Carolina, U.S.A. who came to an untimely death on board the ship Thomas Bennett in the Bay of Biscay August VIIIth MDCCCXLIV aged XLVI years. This monument was erected to his memory by American ship-masters and a few friends in Liverpool”. Captain Halsey had been stabbed to death by the ship’s cook, who was later discharged after a verdict of “justifiable homicide” by way of self defence.

Its official name is the Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool but it is dedicated to Christ and the Blessed Virgin. The total external length of the building, including theLady Chapel, is 189 metres (620 ft) making it the second longest cathedral in the world; its internal length is 146 metres (479 ft). In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world and contests the title of largest Anglican church building alongside the incomplete Cathedral of Saint John the Divine in New York City. With a height of 100.8 metres (331 ft) it is also one of the world's tallest non-spired church buildings and the third-tallest structure in the city of Liverpool. The cathedral has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building.

The cathedral that never was: Lutyens' design for Liverpool.

This exhibition showcased the stunning model of Sir Edwin Lutyens' unbuilt design for Liverpool's catholic cathedral. Lutyens' original vision for the cathedral was so ambitious that even the finely detailed model was never fully completed.

Once the design itself had been abandoned the model was neglected for many years, until it came into National Museums Liverpool's collections.

The model has now been fully conserved and completed to Lutyens' final design. You can find out more about the history of the model and how it was conserved, and see fascinating step by step images of the conservation work in progress, using the links below.

Liverpool Cathedral - Colin Taylor

Colin Taylor, who usually paints landscapes, described his approach to the exhibition: 

“What fascinates me about the Cathedral is its internal scale and space as much as the huge physical parameters. The exhibition does not depict a like for like representation of spaces within the Cathedral, rather how it feels to experience those spaces. I can’t think of a more fitting and fantastic venue to present these new works than the place that inspired it.”

The Bishop of Liverpool commented: 

"Colin's paintings show how the great spaces of Liverpool Cathedral are both haunting and hopeful.  They give visitors a vision of a soul both daunted and transfixed by this vaulted space"

Canon Anthony Hawley who curated the exhibition said:

“There are not many artists who are also mountaineers. For those already familiar with the interior of of Liverpool Cathedral as well as for those who are visiting for the first time, we hope this exhibition will help us to see this magnificent space in a new way.”

The set of stone slabs in the backyard, where the names engraved for a memorial of people have made an impact in the life of the city.

Fascinating powerful sound organ of Cathedral has over 10,000 pipes.

Inside the cathedral is fabulously gorgeous.

Unfortunately at the very top of the cathedral at this time we are not able to get in connection with the ongoing maintenance of the elevator.
