"This is one of the great buildings of the world... The impression of vastness, strength and height no words can describe...

The main body of this Gothic cathedral was originally constructed in the late 15th century, overseen by church warden James Stanley."

"Dating back to 1215, Manchester Cathedral offers a welcome break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Edward Welby Pugin, son of the more famous Augustus, was commissioned to design a cathedral in 1853 but only part of it was built, which served as a parish church until it was demolished in the 1980s. After the Anglican cathedral began to rise at one end of Hope Street in 1904, Sir Edwin Lutyens was commissioned to outdo Sir Giles Gilbert Scott’s design at a new site at the other end of the same street."

"Liverpool is lucky enough to have 2 beautiful cathedrals; the Anglican and Metropolitan.

"If nothing else, the striking design of this cathedral makes it a rather unique attraction to visit. Though the history of this cathedral is more contemporary than that of its sister venue at the other end of Hope Street, its gothic-revival architectural style makes it a standout feature of Liverpool’s skyline."
