Liverpools Anglican cathedral is an imposing building that you can see from almost anywhere in the city. This shot was taken from an archway the spans the Nave of the cathedral. The image does I hope convey the grand scale of this building . Which is possibly the largest public space in the UK
The modern cathedral in Liverpool is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel is 207 yards making it the longest cathedral in the world. Work on the monumental building was twice held up by the two World Wars. Gilbert Scott died in 1960 so he never saw his work completed
The cathedral was built mainly of local sandstone quarried from the South Liverpool suburb of Woolton.
A shot of the cathedrals exterior can be found at the top of the comments

4th November 2016 - An interior shot of Liverpool's impressive Anglican cathedral looking straight down the central aisle
HDR photography by Timothy Selvage inside Our Lady's Chapel, Liverpool Anglican Cathedral Church. This was a great place for photographic opportunities. This perspective shows how I was able to take this picture www.flickr.com/photos/timothyselvage/10883187334/ for those who were curious.
Liverpool Cathedral Church is the longest cathedral in the world, the 5th largest in the world that the largest in the UK. It is relatively young, being completed in 1978. It was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The Lady Chapel (pictured here) was the first part of the cathedral to be pictured and is actually larger than many parish churches.

Thursday Door Day - All Saints Anglican Church, Wickham Terrace, Brisbane.
The title comes from Matthew 7.7
The Cathedral Church of St. George is located on Grenville Street in Kingstown, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, West Indies. The Cathedral is the mother church of the Diocese of the Windward Islands, which is part of the Province of the West Indies. The Cathedral Church of St. George is nearly two hundred years old. It has a typical 16th century architecture with stained glass windows, wall plaques, a hanging chandelier and quaint adornments.
The St. George's Cathedral was built on the site of an earlier Anglican Church which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1780. The new church dedicated on the 1st September 1820.
All Saints Anglican Church, constructed 1856 in the Fallsview area. Some of the grave stones were much older than that, dating to the late 1700's. According to some research, there was a previous church on the site built in 1836. Andrea and I were just walking by here on the way back to my apartment and thought the orange light on the building was quite nice...
I don’t often take good interior shots of churches because tripods aren’t generally allowed (for a fee, sometimes) and I struggle to get a perfectly level and symmetrical frame. Here, inside the vast Anglican cathedral of Liverpool, the 10 mm lens with image stabilisation worked a treat, allowing me to capture the upper interior handheld and from a central position at a shutter speed as slow as 1/6 second. In Lightroom, I reduced the highlights in the windows and added a few vertical filters to subtly grade the colours. Thanks for looking.

Inside the wonderful Liverpool Anglican Cathedral.
It could be a a tad sharper but it was taken through the glass window of my 7th floor hotel room in Liverpool . It does however give an impression of the size of this extraordinary building . In fact the only way you can get a good shot of Liverpool Cathedral is from some distance away . If you are close it defeats even a super wide lens .
Liverpools Anglican cathedral is the largest cathedral in England and the fifth largest in the world . It is also the most recently built. The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott, and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. The total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel, is 207 yards (189 m) making it the longest cathedral in the world. I will post a shot or two of its interior at a later date.
One thing that is remarkable is that there are many photographs of the construction of the building in a museum. Unlike the medieval cathedrals in Europe you can actually see the faces of the builders of this church. It will have kept many Liverpool workers employed during the 74 years of its construction
THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH. ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED
St Matthew’s Church in the village of Rowde (population 1,400), just outside Devizes in Wiltshire.
A Saxon Church in Rowde was recorded in the Domesday Book in 1086. By medieval times there was a stone church, from which the chancel, although altered, remains. A tower was built in the 15th century and still remains as the west tower of the church. Much of the church we see today dates from the 19th century. In 1833, the nave was rebuilt. It is in cut stone with slate roofs and embattled parapets. Arcades and aisles were added in 1860. In 1901 the chancel walls were raised and a new roof provided.

Perched on St James mount and situated at one end of Hope Street, a road with two Cathedrals, sits the Anglican Cathedral Liverpool, as seen from mid river on the Mersey Ferry.
"Barkerville, once the largest city north of San Francisco and west of Chicago, was situated on the western edge of the Cariboo Mountains. It was named after Billy Barker from Cambridgeshire, England, who was among those who first struck gold at the location in 1861, and whose claim was the richest and the most famous. In 1958, the government of British Columbia decided that the town should be restored and operated as a tourist attraction. Today, Barkerville appears as it did in its heyday and is referred to as Barkerville Historic Town. The history of each building has been researched and documented. No actual residents remain; they were either bought out or moved to New Barkerville during the restoration of the site."
St Wilfrid's Church a redundant Anglican church in the village of Low Marnham in Nottinghamshire. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. The church dates from the 13th century, with additions or alterations in the 14th, 15th and 19th centuries, and a restoration in 1846.
St Wilfrid's is constructed in stone with slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave with a clerestory, north and south aisles, a south porch, a north chapel, a chancel and a west tower. From the exterior, the style of the church is Perpendicular. The tower is in two stages, with diagonal buttresses. In the lower stage is a three-light west window, and there are clock faces on the north, west and south sides. The upper stage contains two-light bell openings on each side. At the top of the tower is an embattled parapet with pinnacles at the corners, and two gargoyles. The north wall of the north aisle contains four three-light windows, an arched doorway, and five gargoyles. There is a three-light window in both the west and east walls of this aisle. The north chapel has a similar window. Along both walls of the clerestory are four three-light windows and five gargoyles. At the east end of the chancel is a three-light window and two gargoyles. In the south wall of the chancel is a doorway with a two-light window on each side. On the south side of the south aisle is a porch, with a three-light window to its right and a two-light window to the left. The doorway in the porch has an ogee arch with multiple layers of moulding, at the bottom of which are carved heads. In the west end of the aisle is a single-light window.
The arcades differ in that the north arcade is carried on low cylindrical pillars with circular capitals, while the south arcade has taller octagonal pillars with detached shafts. In the south wall of the chancel is a tomb recess, and in the south wall of the south aisle is a piscina and an aumbry. The church contains monuments to the Cartwright family. There is a hatchment dated 1749 in the north aisle, and a fragment of 15th-century stained glass.
St Andrews Cathedral, in Sydney, Australia.
The cathedral is the seat of the Anglican Archbishop of Sydney and Metropolitan bishop of New South Wales, currently the Most Reverend Glenn Davies, the dean is the Very Reverend Kanishka Raffel.
It has an Evangelical ministry, holding services every day, including a weekly healing service. There is a cathedral choir of men and boys who sing during term time, as well as a company of bell ringers. The notable pipe organ has been restored and is extensively used for recitals and concerts.
Designed primarily by Edmund Blacket on foundations laid by James Hume, the cathedral was built from 1837 to 1868, and was ready for services and consecrated in 1868, making it the oldest cathedral in Australia. The cathedral was extended with the addition of The Chapter House in 1886. It underwent major conservation and restoration work between 1999 and 2000.
Items of interest in the church are the Foundation Plaques, the organ, which was originally built in 1866, the lectern (the eagle is a symbol of St John), the font, a gift received in 1868, the tiles and marble floors, mostly still the original and laid between 1862 to 1868. To find your way around the Cathedral pick up the brochure A tour of St Andrews's Cathedral.
St Andrew's is owned by Anglican Church Property Trust. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 3 September 2004; is listed on the City of Sydney local government heritage register; and is listed on the (now defunct) Register of the National Estate.
The interior has high aesthetic value, even in its altered form, containing much of the original furniture and fittings including the Hill organ. The Cathedral contains a very fine and significant set of stained-glass windows that predominantly date from the time of construction. The Cathedral has historic significance as it has reflected the growth of the Anglican Church and changes in Anglicanism and for its associations with prominent church and civic persons.
