Liverpool Cathedral, formally the Cathedral Church of Christ in Liverpool, is a Church of England cathedral in the city of Liverpool, England. It is the seat of the Anglican Bishop of Liverpool and is the mother church of the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool. It is the largest cathedral and religious building in Britain, and the eighth largest church in the world. The cathedral is based on a design by Giles Gilbert Scott and was constructed between 1904 and 1978. It is the longest cathedral in the world: the total external length of the building, including the Lady Chapel (dedicated to the Blessed Virgin), is 621 feet (189 m), and its internal length 480 feet (150 m). In terms of overall volume, Liverpool Cathedral ranks as the fifth-largest cathedral in the world and contests with the incomplete Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City for the title of largest Anglican church building. With a height of 331 feet (101 m) it is also one of the world's tallest non-spired church buildings and the fourth-tallest structure in the city of Liverpool.
